【The 2023 Perrot Minot Gevrey Chambertin hails from a vintage described as the hottest on record in Burgundy, yet it delivers wines of remarkable balance, finesse, and elegance.】 Despite challenges, successful producers like Perrot Minot crafted classically proportioned wines with moderate alcohol levels (13-13.5% abv). This Gevrey-Chambertin reveals wild black currant, forest floor, and crushed cherry aromas with a hint of sauvage. The palate is refined and medium-bodied, structured by firm yet fine tannins, leading to a lingering, slightly warm finish with great tension and depth.

This elegant Gevrey Chambertin is a superb match for classic French cuisine like roasted duck breast with cherry sauce or mushroom risotto. For Asian pairings, consider Cantonese roasted pigeon or a delicate braised beef brisket with star anise, where the wine's fruit and earthy notes can complement the rich flavors.
🥂 fit for event suggestion
Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or a quiet evening of contemplation. This wine can be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit or aged to develop further complexity. Serve at cellar temperature (around 16-18°C) to best appreciate its aromatic complexity and structure. A brief decant might help it open up if enjoying young.
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.
