In 1957 the Pernots had the foresight to start buying as many Puligny-Montrachet vineyards as they could. These vineyards were already planted and remain in good health to this day. Thus, the domaine makes claim to some of the oldest vineyards in all of white Burgundy, as well as the oldest average age for vines across the entire region. The oldest vines at the domaine are 90 years, and the average is 70.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMost of these grapes are sold to negociants, a practice that continues to this day. As Jasper Morris MW notes: “At present, 80% of the wines are sold on to extremely fortunate negociants in Beaune.
