Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles vignes Perrot-Minot 2018
The wine
Ranked among the best five Burgundy crus, this Chambertin develops aromas of ripe red and dark fruits mixed with delicate spices. Floral and oaky hints structure the whole. On the palate, this is a sumptuous and powerful wine with opulent substance. To be aged for at least ten years in the cellar.
About the Producer Domaine Perrot-Minot
The domaine’s history began in the 19th century with the generation of Amédée Merme who attempted to expand the family property. In 1902, Armand Merme took over and made many innovations in the field of vinification. The name Perrot-Minot was associated to the domaine in 1963, when one of Armand Merme’s four daughters married Henri Perrot-Minot. They took over the reins when Armand Merme passed away. Since 1993, their son Christophe Perrot-Minot (a wine broker for seven years) has run the domaine and still does today. His goal is to optimise the work and quality of the wines, thus carrying on the family tradition. The domaine has 13 hectares of vines distributed throughout the Côte de Nuits in villages, premier crus and grand crus which it completes by purchasing some grapes in Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. These fine wines express the identity of each of these different terroirs. A magnificent name of the Côte de Nuits.
