RATINGS

93+ Stephen Tanzer

..Redcurrant, cherry and smoke on the nose; conveys a stronger impression of soil than the Mazoyeres. Powerful but tightly wrapped, with dense, sappy flavors of small, wild red fruits. Solidly structured and built to age...

92The Wine Advocate

...a broad, super-ripe, lush, and mouth-coating wine. Abundant candied cherries and blackberries can be found in this soft, supple, exquisitely long and pure offering. In its highly detailed finish, notes of strawberries and violets...

91Burghound.com

...lovely complexity, slightly more pronounced structure with tannins that have a slightly dusty texture in the mouth. There is also slightly more buffering sap and the same elegant balance. A lovely effort offering good intensity...

90Wine Spectator

...with plenty of clean, pure and crisp fruit, veering toward black cherries and kirsch, and offering smoke, tar and mocha complexity to boot. Firmly structured, with tough tannins that should soften with age. Best from 2003 through 2008.

PRODUCER

Henri Perrot-Minot

Domaine Henri Perrot-Minot is a 32-acre estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The domaine was founded in the 19th century, and is today still owned and operated by descendants of the founders. Henri Perrot-Minot married into the family in 1963 and ran the estate until 1993, when his son Christophe took over. Christophe has expanded the estate into Vosne-Romanee and Perrot-Minot now has Grand Cru parcels in Chambertin-Clos de Beze, Chambertin, Mazoyeres-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Clos Vougeot. The estate also has 14 Premier Cru parcels. Clive Coates has written that “this is a very good address.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin

Charmes-Chambertin is a 78-acre Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin that traditionally includes the acreage of nearby Mazoyeres-Chambertin. For nearly 200 years the growers of Mazoyeres have been legally allowed to sell their wines under the more famous name of Charmes-Chambertin, and virtually all of them do. Charmes-Chambertin is the largest of the Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Crus, and it generally has an excellent reputation. The slope of the vineyard is gentle and the surface soil poor. But producers including Joseph Roty, Christian Serafin, Domaine Dujac, Faiveley and Joseph Drouhin are acclaimed for their Charmes Chambertin. Principal landholders are Camus, with 14.75 acres; Perrot-Minot, 4 acres; and Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
