Alvina Pernot
Alvina Pernot works the limestone slopes of Puligny-Montrachet, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, where Chardonnay reaches its most refined expression. The winery's portfolio centers on white Burgundy of precision and mineral depth. Puligny-Montrachet 'l'Épée' stands as the flagship, a wine that captures the village's signature balance of richness and acidity. Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' offers a rounder, more voluptuous take on the region's Chardonnay, while Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru—one of Burgundy's most coveted appellations—represents the pinnacle of the terroir. These wines have drawn assessment from Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The winery's focus remains narrow and exacting: small-parcel Chardonnay from some of the Côte de Beaune's most prestigious sites.
