When two wine luminaries and lifelong Burgundy lovers come together with a single vision, we pay attention. And we get excited. Perron de Mypont is an inspired new chapter in Burgundy written by two longtime friends with a shared passion for place and possibility. In 2019, Ernst Loosen, best known for his benchmark Mosel Rieslings, acquired part of the historic Vieux Château de Puligny-Montrachet and teamed up with Burgundy native Manoël Bouchet to breathe new life into this 16th-century estate.
Together, they’ve built a micro-négociant focused on thoughtful, terroir-driven expressions of chardonnay and pinot noir from across the Côte d’Or. Their Edition wines are produced in close collaboration with growers, often aged in the growers’ own cellars to preserve each site’s distinctive voice. Volnay has long been prized for its elegance, showing pinot noir with a sense of lift and lightness, shaped more by finesse than force. This 2023 release from Perron de Mypont fits squarely within that tradition. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees in large-format barrels without bâtonnage or overt oak influence, the wine reveals red berries, crushed herbs, and violet over a fine-grained structure. The tannins are silky, the fruit pure and poised, and the finish long and mineral, with just enough savory grip to ground its graceful frame.
This is a textbook Volnay that captures the pedigree of the village and the simple pleasure of tasting pinot noir from a place with so much promise. A wine to drink now and to share, but also one to save and savor.
This inaugural release is being offered first to Yes Society members before Perron de Mypont’s wines reach national distribution later this year.
