FEATURES
🏰 The 2006 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a challenging summer with vine health problems, yet at its best, it produced wines that are very pure and expressive. Domaine Perrot-Minot's Mazoyères-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is crafted from old vines, offering exceptional depth and complexity. Robert Parker described the 2006 Mazoyères-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes as phenomenally intense in aroma and implosively-concentrated on the palate, featuring bitter-sweet blackberry and cassis, iodine, pungent herbal extractions, beef bouillon, and soy. It is noted for its tenacious grip, saline, savory, pungently herbal, and medicinal aspects, providing invigoration and complexity. This wine promises a 12-15 year lifespan from its release. 【 Phenomenally intense and complex 】
🍴 This powerful and complex red Burgundy calls for equally refined dishes. Consider roasted game birds like pheasant or duck, beef Wellington, or a rich mushroom and truffle pasta. Its earthy and savory notes would also complement aged hard cheeses.
🥂 An excellent choice for a serious wine collector's dinner, a special celebration, or a contemplative evening where the wine itself is the star. It's a wine that rewards careful attention and appreciation.
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.
