In contrast to some of his colleagues on the Cote de Beaune, veteran Paul Pernot described 2012 as "on the classic side." The wines, he went on, are richer than the 2011s, "but the two vintages are similar in quality and style. The 2012s have a bit less acidity than the 2011s, and the balance of 2011 is almost perfect." The '12s had been racked and sulfited at least a month before my visit.

Veteran vigneron Paul Pernod, who has worked more than his share of vintages, categorizes 2011 and 2010 as "classic years, but with 2011 showing less depth," and describes 2009 and 2008 as "more extreme vintages, with more surmaturite." As is usually the case here, the 2011s had been in tank since February, after finishing their malos in December and January.

Pernot bottled all of the 2011s in late June, the earliest I know of in Burgundy, especially for the higher-end appellations. Because of the early harvest, the fermentations were done quickly. The wines were racked into tank in March for fining, where they stayed until they were bottled. This is a very pretty set of 2011s that offers considerable early appeal.
