Pernot Belicard Aligoté is produced from old vines planted in 1956 and 1971 by Philippe Pernot's grand father.
Wine is very aromatic, with some tropical notes with a hint of white flowers and white peach. The wine is also quite mineral, due to the Aligote grapes grown on limestone soils in the commune of Puligny Montrachet. Finish is long and balanced.
Oysters, St Jacques Cassolette, Roasted Gambas, Comté Cheese.

Their Aligoté, Burgundy’s “other” white grape aside from the ubiquitous Chardonnay, comes from two plots, planted in 1956 and 1971, in Puligny Montrachet near the road. The 2024 combines the energy inherent to the grape with depth that’s not often found in Aligoté. It is a great choice for highly flavored dishes, like seafood in a rich tomato sauce or the plethora of flavors found with an omakase-like meal.- Michael Apstein
