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.
Among the first bottlings from this new project is a 2024 Bourgogne Aligoté, a wine born from one of Burgundy’s most challenging vintages in recent memory. Severe spring frosts decimated yields, and only a fraction of the aligoté crop survived. Perron de Mypont secured a small quantity of juice, which was matured on lees in large-format French oak (1,000L foudre), without bâtonnage, then rested in stainless steel to allow natural sedimentation before a light filtration. The goal was purity over polish, and the result is a wine that honors the grape’s natural verve and texture while maintaining freshness and low intervention.
Often overshadowed by chardonnay, aligoté is Burgundy’s unsung white grape with a bright, tensile character that is deeply expressive of site when treated with care. This release is a vivid reminder of its potential, shaped by both vintage adversity and a thoughtful approach that allows the character of the grape to shine.
This inaugural release is being offered first to Yes Society members before Perron de Mypont’s wines reach national distribution later this year.
