Domaine Paul Pernot Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Garenne | Fine Vines
History: Family estate since 6 generations, and now 3 generations are running the domaine, Paul, his 2 sons Paul and Michel, and his grand child Philippe. One of the largest domaine in Puligny Montrachet started by the family but Paul extended and re planted slowly many vineyards like Clos des Folatieres despite the hard work which had to be done. He said now it will be easier with the new tractors/ machines.
The top value of the domaine: If we ask to Paul Pernot what are the important points Farming - Sustainable with a control of production by de-buding - Plowing. No herbicide - Anticipation on sickness and due treatment to have no risk. Too difficult to cure
