The initial releases from Perron de Mypont will be available to U.S. consumers beginning in May 2025
Internationally renowned winemaker Erni Loosen announces the launch of Perron de Mypont, his new winemaking project in Burgundy. A passionate and lifelong collector of Pinot Noir from around the world, Erni has long dreamed of producing wine in Burgundy, the variety’s birthplace. That dream has now become a reality. The initial releases from Perron de Mypont will be available to U.S. consumers beginning in May 2025.
“I fell in love with Burgundy about 50 years ago, during a winemaking internship there,” said Loosen. “I was immediately struck by the similarities between Riesling and Pinot Noir, which are both cool-climate varieties that can make truly profound wines that develop beautifully with age. Ever since then, I’ve dreamed of making my wine in Burgundy. And it’s finally happening!”
Perron de Mypont is based at the Vieux Château de Puligny-Montrachet, in the famed village in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. In 2019, Erni acquired the east wing of the 15th-century “Old Château” and began work on a multi-year restoration project. He also established his own négociant company and began working with growers and producers to create his collection of wines, made to his standards for high quality and exceptional ageability.
Erni’s partner in Perron de Mypont is Manoël Bouchet, a long-time collaborator, highly esteemed wine professional and denizen of Burgundy, with deep expertise in the region’s terroir and legacy. Their shared vision is to produce wines that are true to the heritage and culture of the Burgundy region by blending proven traditional methods with a modern winemaking approach to ensure superior wine quality and value.
