Dom. Paul Pernot Beaune 'Clos de Dessus des Marconnets' Monopole

Paul Pernot is one of the most highly regarded proprietors in Burgundy, running his eponymous Domaine since the 1950s. Assisted now by his two sons, he is primarily known for his white Burgundies, no surprise with holdings of 15 hectares in the famed Puligny Montrachet. This red, from a walled monopole north of Beaune, deserves just as much respect as the whites from Pernot. Good spice character, fine tannins, and aromas of red and dark fruits, enjoy this on its own or with duck.
