FEATURES
The 2002 Perrot Minot Nuits St Georges La Richemone 1er Cru is a quintessential expression of red Burgundy, showcasing wonderful extraction and pure Pinot fruit. This vintage, described as being at or near its peak in 2013 and still singing in 2026, offers a rich and complex profile. Expect a dark and red cherry core, complemented by notes of leather, oak, and Asian spices. Further layers reveal floral, earthy, smoky, blackberry, blueberry, nutmeg, cedar, raspberry, savory, dried rosemary, and violet nuances. Allen Meadows awarded it 91 points, highlighting its dense fruit, superb aromatic breadth, and a massive, powerful, muscular, intense, and delicious palate that culminates in an explosive finish of superb length and perfume. The wine is balanced and structured, promising a memorable experience.
🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic roasted game birds like pheasant or duck, as well as slow-cooked beef dishes. For an Eastern touch, consider it with Peking duck or a rich, savoury braised pork belly. It also complements mature, firm cheeses.
🥂 Event Suggestion: This is a wine for special occasions or a contemplative evening, perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a gathering of Burgundy aficionados who appreciate the evolution and complexity of a well-aged Pinot Noir. 【Quintessential expression of Perrot Minot red Burgundy, showing wonderful extraction and pure Pinot fruit.】
