FEATURES
🏰Perrot Minot's Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2012 is a magnificent expression from a vintage that produced harmonious, silky, and structured wines with great length in Burgundy. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir is known for its 【profound scents of crushed blackberry and licorice, a wonderfully sweet and dense palate with black fruits, cherry, raspberry, and an exhilarating note of orange zest, all framed by fine tannins and splendid potential】. The 2012 is still quite youthful and built to age, offering excellent volume and intensity.
🍴This powerful and elegant Grand Cru Burgundy pairs sublimely with sophisticated dishes such as roasted game birds, slow-roasted lamb, beef tenderloin with mushroom or truffle sauces, and aged, robust cheeses.
🥂An exceptional wine for a milestone celebration, a serious collector's tasting, or as a prized addition to a fine wine cellar. Decanting for 2-3 hours is highly recommended to allow its complex layers to unfold.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Perrot Minot is headquartered in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits region, north of Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Red wine is mainly made from Pinot Noir. The history of the winery can be traced back to the "Domaine Merme-Morizot" at the end of the 19th century. In 1993, it was taken over by Christophe Perrot-Minot, who acquired Domaine Pernin-Rossin and its assets in 2000. In 1999, the domaine also began a négociant business, producing wine from fruit from its partner vineyards, including several Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. The winery produces wine from seven Grand Cru vineyards, the most famous of which is Chambertin, as well as a series of First Growth vineyards. Yields are strictly limited and green harvesting is done in specific plots, so some vines can only produce five bunches of grapes.
