13 years ago the Pannell Family planted the newest six of their Burgundian Pinot Noir clones at Picardy, thus completing a 3 decade long project to source and import specially selected clones from Dijon to Pemberton.

Decades earlier, The Pannells were the first vignerons to bring these Burgundian clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay into Western Australia.

Whilst many Australian w**eries use one single clone, which can result in a fairly one dimensional w**e, Burgundian vignerons call the practice of utilising multiple clones “selection massale” - combining a wide selection of the best clones available to produce w**es of greater complexity and depth of flavour.

Each clone acts as a subtle variant of the variety and brings its own characteristics.
In our Dijon Chardonnay clones we notice lifted florals, citrus and minerality. These clones have helped us to achieve flavour without overly rich opulence.
In our Dijon Pinot Noir clones we notice nuanced flavours across the clones covering a wide spectrum of flavours. Some clones exude bright red fruits, sour cherry, wild strawberry, some show darker fruits and spice whilst some clones provide the earthy, savoury, mushroomy, truffley and chocolatey notes.

We are often asked which clones are the best. Since a careful selection of several clones in our opinion can result in better w**es, we are tempted to say “all of them”. Secondly, a particular characteristic typified in one clone may not seem that appealing in isolation but it might be an important part of a blend of fruit from various clones

Our Sauvignon Blanc is made from three clones of Sauvignon Blanc, co-fermented with Semillon.
Our Chardonnay is made of four Dijon clones.
Our Pinot Noir is made of eleven different clones, nine of which are from Burgundy.

All Picardy W**es are 100% estate grown, hand-picked and made on site.

2024 Picardy Pinot Noir (NEW)

Made from 11 specially selected clones of Pinot Noir, nine of which are from Dijon. Dry grown, cane-pruned, hand-picked. Aged in French oak barriques (25% new) for 10 months.

Tasting note by Ray Jordan, WA W**e Review:

“The key with this w**e is it’s made from 11 selected clones, nine of which are from Dijon. It’s a marvellous example of pinots that the Pannells are producing these days. Savoury, chalky, faintly mushroom characters on the nose. Then a palate that is brilliant, bright, with an almost lustrousness about it. Lovely red fruits of cherry and strawberry providing the flesh, but then there is a fine linear core that gives it the structural integrity that good pinots need. This is a classy w**e.”.................................................

Tasting note by Gary Walsh, The W**e Front:

“The warm dry year has delivered a more loose-knit and generous expression of Picardy Pinot Noir, though it’s come out of it pretty well, I must say. Cherry, marzipan, a little spice, cedar and dried rose perfume, gently ferrous and grainy in the tannin department, a juiciness to the cherry, apple and red fruits, a slight warmth shows, closing nutty and pretty long, with a candied orange peel flavour to close. It’s a tasty w**e, and I like it. Has generosity but carries itself well.”.............................................

Tasting note by Shanteh Wale, W**e Pilot:

“The 2024 vintage shows off the bright red cherries and pomegranate with a to***co leaf and autumnal forest floor element. Oyster mushroom, crackling tree bark and damp soil. Some sappy tannins that sit upfront, elevated acidity, this takes you on a ride from early harvest in the vineyard and into the warmer surrounding of the w**ery. Oak sounds a little louder with some caraway and poppy seed, making this a w**e for richer style stews and braised beef.”

NEW release after almost a year sold out.

“All Dijon clones and from the estates single vineyard, handpicked, dry grown and matured in 25% new oak. A w**e with lovely soft lemon flesh, Gardenia flowers and Honeysuckle. Japanese melon, golden apple and kernel. This is such an elegant w**e, oak adds a creamy base with some warmed butter and citrus and white peach are focused and ripe on the palate.
This has a personality that gets along well with all food groups, feels leisurely and immensely sippable on its own and has a faceted structure for long term aging, between 5-10 years further. Length of flavour and the arc of roast almond stays for long moments.
There are some great Chardonnays in this country and this is one of them, graceful and full of humility. A w**e I would pick out of the crowd at any opportunity I get.
Try this with baked leeks and chicken thighs bathed in a cream sauce. 95 Points” - Shanteh Wale
