FEATURES
Domaine Perrot-Minot is an acclaimed estate in Burgundy, known for its meticulous viticulture and winemaking, which consistently delivers remarkable depth, purity, and finesse, even for its Bourgogne Rouge offerings. The 2023 vintage, despite facing climatic challenges, yielded wines of "perfect balance, subtle finesse, and great elegance," thanks to carefully controlled yields. Christophe Perrot-Minot incorporates partial whole-bunch fermentation (averaging 40% in 2023) and uses new oak sparingly, with a maximum of 20%.
The 2023 Bourgogne La Gouzotte Rouge offers a very pretty nose of mostly red berries and soft earth nuances, with bright red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry aromas, layered with subtle floral notes and spice. The palate is vibrant and beautifully balanced, showcasing juicy red fruit with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a gentle mineral edge. It is concentrated yet approachable, leading to a long and refined finish. Expect a delightful, elegant, and refined wine with a beautiful tension and a solidly complex, persistent finish. This wine is enjoyable young but also has the potential to age, with a recommended drinking window from 2026 onwards or cellaring through 2030.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions include roast chicken, duck, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses.
