Domaine Darviot-Perrin, Chassagne-Montrachet “La Bergerie”

Considered one of the linchpins of premium Burgundy, one would think the Darviot-Perrin name stretched for centuries. However, Didier Darviot didn’t release his first commercial vintage until 1989. So why, then, is there so much buzz around the domaine? Because Didier learned his craft alongside his legendary father-in-law, Pierre Perrin, who also bestowed upon him a trove of old heirloom vines throughout the Côte de Beaune. It did not take long to make a name for himself, and by the 21st century, the wines were on the radar of every Burgundy insider. After retiring in 2017, Didier searched high and low for a successor, and two years later, he landed on one that was close to home—his son, Pierre-Antonin, who left his own career to carry on the family business. In that short time, he’s transitioned into full-on biodynamics. 

“La Bergerie” lies only about 250 meters south from the Chassagne-side of Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet and Darviot-Perrin’s small stand of vines are equipped with substantial age, with the first being planted in the 1920s. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, fermented using ambient yeasts, and the resulting wine is aged in 25% new Allier oak barrels for 12 months. This is followed by six additional months in stainless steel tank before the wines are bottled. Roughly 100 cases are produced per annum. 

I’m of two minds as to when to drink this beauty: On the one hand, this will age 7-10 years longer, but on the other hand, a 60-minute decant before service will provide you thrills right now. Either way, serve this in large Burgundy stems bowls and let the temperature come up to about 50-55 degrees for best results. Here are Burghound’s tasting notes: “A completely different aromatic profile presents itself with notes of resin, rosemary oil, and various dried white and yellow orchard fruit scents. The dense and impressively powerful medium-weight flavors possess good punch on the serious, complex, and lingering finish.”
