White dry
Pernot-Bélicard Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or 2023 is an elegant and mineral white wine that reflects the authentic Burgundy terroir. Although it is a regional classification wine, it possesses the precision and structure characteristic of the Puligny-Montrachet village (where the producer is located). It is an excellent introduction to the style of the Domaine Pernot-Bélicard estate and a classic choice for those who appreciate a pure expression of Chardonnay.
The aroma reveals fresh citrus fruits, green apples, white stone fruits, and subtle floral notes. The palate is dominated by a firm mineral backbone, accompanied by vibrant and refreshing acidity. The wine features a harmonious texture and a long, clean finish that reflects the specific characteristics of the Côte d'Or subregion's limestone soils.
To preserve the maximum freshness and primary aromas of the grapes, winemaker Philippe Pernot applies a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar. Aging in oak barrels is strictly limited to ensure the natural character of the berries is not overpowered.
This wine is best enjoyed when served at a temperature of 10–12 °C. It pairs well with fresh seafood, white fish dishes, poultry with light sauces, and soft cheeses
Although the estate's name appeared on the market relatively recently, its foundation is built on historic family holdings. The founder, Philippe Pernot—grandson of the renowned Burgundy winemaker Paul Pernot—along with his wife from the Bélicard family, took over plots of old vines. Today, the estate manages vineyards in the prestigious appellations of Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, and Beaune, where shallow limestone and marl soils shape the authentic character of the grapes.
Philippe Pernot's winemaking style is strictly focused on preserving freshness and the natural energy of the grapes. In the cellar, frequent lees stirring (bâtonnage) is deliberately avoided, and the use of new French oak barrels is limited to 20–30%. This technique prevents the wine from becoming too heavy or buttery, allowing aromas of crushed stone, citrus zest, and white flowers to dominate. The palate maintains a firm mineral backbone, ensuring a classic structure with long aging potential.
Due to their balanced acidity and pronounced minerality, these white wines perfectly complement delicate seafood dishes. They pair precisely with fresh oysters, sea scallops, lobster, and baked halibut fillet with a white wine and butter sauce (beurre blanc).
