Sublime Meursault made from old vines. Rich and creamy, with great complexity and persistence. Sheer nectar!

Meursaults may be known for their richness, but this is a more refined and elegant style. You`ll find citrus, wet stone, tropical fruit, and a hint of toastiness on the nose. On the palate the classic flavours of butterscotch, hazelnut, honey, apricot and pineapple are complimented by a creamy and buttery finish with great acidity.

Philippe Pernot is one of the best domaines in Burgundy that you have likely never heard of! Philippe is the grandson of famous winemaker Paul Pernot, based in Puligny Montrachet. Domaine Pernot Belicard was established when Philippe took over part of his father in law’s Domaine. The domaine holds great potential, containing well established, old vineyards. The wines are minerally and elegant complimented by very subtle use of oak. This is a great quality Burgundy but without the astronomical price tag!

The Chardonnay grapes are hand picked in September, and following pressing and light settling the juice is decanted into barrels for fermentation. After alcoholic fermentation is complete, malolactic fermentation naturally takes place and the yeast/lees are stirred once a week. The wine is left in barrel for 1 year with 25% new oak used each year. Light filtration takes place one week before bottling in August.

Perfect with seafood, rich creamy pasta and buttery chicken dishes. Try with king prawns in a garlic butter sauce.
