Producer

One of the great modern domaines, Perrot-Minot has garnered considerable critical acclaim for its opulent, aromatic wines. The secret is old vines, meticulous viticulture, and minimal intervention. House specialities include Chambolle Combe d’Orveau, a small vineyard adjoining Musigny grand cru, and the rarely seen Mazoyères-Chambertin. Quantities are as small as the scores are high, and most wines sell out rapidly.

Vineyard

A blend from various communes of the Côte de Nuits, this wine forms an introduction to the Perrot-Minot range.

Winery

The grapes were hand-sorted and destemmed. The must was given about a week’s maceration at 14ºC, then fermented at a maximum of 32ºC. The wine was left to clarify for forty-eight hours, then racked to barrel for 12-14 months’ maturation without sulphur, followed by bottling unfined and unfiltered.
