Pernot/Alvina Puligny-Montrachet Clos des Noyers Brets 2023

93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Alvina Pernot's village-level Clos de Noyers Brets is a beautiful expression of her house style. The bright, green aromas of passion fruit and gooseberry are underscored by salty minerality and floral notes. The texture is sapid and juicy, with enough substance to keep the wine round and long on the palate. The grapes are from a 0.33ha plot down from Enseignères; half are fermented in terra cotta amphorae and the balance in cask to produce this lively, delicious wine. Drinking Window: 2030-2040.

92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale lemon and lime. 40% in terracotta amphora, new this year. Currently noticeably reductive. There is more weight to this, a white fruit flesh on the palate, with significant length. Once the reduction and oak are harmonised, this will be excellent. (Oct 2024)"

91 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Clos des Noyers Brets is matured half in 600-liter amphora and half in regular barrels, which means there is a bit of reduction on the nose. The palate is much more expressive and promising, with notes of apricot and lime, and a fine bead of acidity. Quite elegant in style, afford this a couple of years in bottle. Drink: 2026-2036. (Jan 2025)"

'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A suggestion of the exotic can be found on the aromas of mostly white peach, orange peel and acacia blossom. The succulent, delicious and slightly more vibrant medium-bodied flavors deliver a bit more depth and persistence on the beautifully well-balanced finale. This is lovely for its level and like the Vignes de Mon Père cuvée, a wine that should be reasonably approachable young. Drink: 2027+. (Jun 2025)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "Part amphora so a bit of reduction – a deeper nose. A little extra volume in the mouth but similar clarity with just a little finishing oak – but very modest. Top villages. (Dec 2024)"
