Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has more tension and mineralité than the La Piéce Sous Bois, though it is still relatively backward with glimpses of yellow fruit and pressed flowers. The palate is very well-balanced, with a slightly waxy texture on the entry. There’s fine extract here, a little pithy, again, quite "controlled" on the finish as if it is begging to be cellared away for 4-5 years.
About the Producer
Alvina Pernot – grand-daughter of Puligny-Montrachet-based producer Paul Pernot – established her own label in 2018, with her husband Philippe Abadie. They currently use the facilities at Domaine Paul Pernot to produce the wines, but are in the process of building their own winery in Puligny-Montrachet. Alvina largely purchases grapes from the Domaine Paul Pernot vineyards but also has acquired access to a separate plot that borders their back garden in Puligny, in the esteemed Noyers Bret. Alvina currently produces seven cuvées. All are white wines apart from the her cuvée from the Bievaux vineyard in the village of Santenay.
