Pair with slow-roasted lamb, game birds, or aged Comté cheese. This wine is perfect for a milestone anniversary or a serious collector's dinner.
As this wine is over 15 years old, please handle the bottle with care to avoid disturbing the sediment. Use an old-wine corkscrew if possible, and stand the bottle upright for 24 hours before serving. Decant gently for about 30-45 minutes to allow it to breathe, but do not over-aerate as it is delicate.
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.
