Paul Pernot 2024 Volnay Carelles Sous la Chapelle Premier Cru – Burgundy
🍷 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Elegance and Precision from One of Volnay’s Most Coveted Premier Crus
The Paul Pernot 2024 Volnay Premier Cru “Carelles Sous la Chapelle” is a beautifully poised expression of Pinot Noir from one of Volnay’s most respected Premier Cru vineyards. Located in a prized corridor between Meursault and Pommard, this site combines the finesse and floral elegance of Volnay with the depth and structure associated with its prestigious neighbors.
Produced by the historic Paul Pernot family, now in its sixth generation, this wine reflects generations of experience and an unwavering commitment to sustainable viticulture. Today, the domaine is guided by three generations — Paul Pernot, his sons Michel and Paul, and his grandson Philippe (Domaine Pernot Belicard) — ensuring continuity of philosophy and meticulous attention to detail.
Although the estate is best known for its world-class white Burgundies from Puligny-Montrachet, Pernot’s red wines are increasingly sought after for their clarity of fruit, precision, and authentic expression of terroir.
