The 2024 combines the refinement associated with Les Pucelles with the taut, classical character of the vintage. Bright lemon, gooseberry and fresh orchard fruit lead the aromatic profile, accompanied by delicate lees notes, flinty minerality and a distinctly saline edge. The palate develops greater weight through the middle while retaining excellent freshness, tension and precision. Ripe apricot, orange rind and Golden Delicious apple add depth without diminishing the wine’s finely chiselled structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlvina Pernot and Philippe Abadie favour an élevage designed to preserve vineyard expression rather than dominate the wine with oak. The domaine’s 2024 whites were raised predominantly in used barrels, while this Les Pucelles was produced from three barrels, only one of which was new. This restrained maturation complements the wine’s mineral character, allowing citrus, orchard fruit and limestone-like notes to remain clearly defined. The texture is lively and increasingly substantial through the mid-palate, balanced by fresh acidity and a long, driven finish. Its combination of purity, concentration and mineral tension suggests excellent potential for further development in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Chiselled, fresh and mineral\u003cbr\u003eLemon, gooseberry, Golden Delicious apple and fresh apricot with subtle lees, flint, white flowers and cool limestone-like mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Taut, concentrated and lively\u003cbr\u003eBright citrus and orchard fruit develop into a broader mid-palate, supported by energetic acidity, saline tension and finely textured mineral depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, precise and saline\u003cbr\u003ePersistent lemon, orange rind, apricot and chalky mineral notes carry through an energetic, focused finish with impressive length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2024 Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles ler Cru is the one cuvée that felt very reticent on the nose, suggesting that it will require more cellaring than its peers. The palate is very well balanced, lilting orange rind and Golden Delicious notes, the finish just a little backward at the moment. Let's see what it can do but patience required.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 91+ Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBrand - Domaine Alvina Pernot\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Puligny-Montrachet\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Premier Cru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Alvina Pernot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334079541335,"sku":"ALV-PER-PUCEL-24","price":619.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/6977e18e-7275-4b71-b096-38dca902ca31.webp?v=1790195292","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-alvina-pernot-puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-les-pucelles-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
