Barolet-Pernot, Batard-Montrachet – 2022

An extraordinary expression of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards, Barolet-Pernot Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 represents the pinnacle of Chardonnay craftsmanship. Produced from meticulously tended vines and crafted with exceptional precision, this distinguished vintage combines extraordinary richness, crystalline freshness, and profound mineral complexity, delivering a wine of remarkable depth, elegance, and aging potential.

Brilliant golden in color with luminous straw reflections, it opens with an intensely expressive bouquet of ripe peach, pear, apricot, and citrus, beautifully layered with aromas of acacia blossom, honeysuckle, toasted hazelnuts, brioche, vanilla, and subtle flinty minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent yet beautifully balanced, revealing concentrated flavors of ripe stone fruits, lemon curd, baked apple, and delicate tropical fruit. Vibrant acidity provides remarkable freshness and precision, while finely integrated oak contributes richness, creamy texture, and extraordinary depth. A distinctive mineral backbone runs throughout the wine, creating an impressive combination of power, finesse, and terroir-driven complexity.

The finish is exceptionally long, elegant, and persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, ripe peach, toasted almonds, brioche, vanilla, and refined limestone minerality that evolve beautifully on the palate.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with lobster, roasted turbot, scallops, premium shellfish, truffle-infused dishes, roasted poultry with cream sauces, and refined French cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served at 11–13°C. Decant gently for 20–30 minutes before serving to allow its layered aromas, creamy texture, and remarkable mineral complexity to fully emerge.
