Paul Pernot Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2024

I allocated myself just one bottle each of Janvier’s Jasnières and Cuvée Silex this season

Medium-to full-bodied with firm

with crisp acidity and delicate

and clove emerge through the mid-palate

but not sloppy – it delivers richness while still maintaining an elegant Italian core – a freshness that makes it perfect for a simple meal of garlic and rosemary grilled focaccia with prosciutto di Parma and Caprino Marchigiano

offering the estate’s hallmark purity of fruit with even greater depth and precision than usual

But luckily enough

and Dad in Burgundy vines

shipped a few bottles out to Waterford

They knew immediately they were onto something

The 2021 Il Campo Rosso

So if you took apricots
