Perrot-Minot Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
(95-97) The 2016 Mazoyeres-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru clearly is the most intense of Christophe's 2016s on the nose with ebullient scents of black cherries, bilberry, slightly overripe Satsumas and rose petal aromas. It takes a while to get going, but it is worth persisting with. The palate is very harmonious with supple tannin, a silver bead of acidity that winds its way through the layers of pure red fruit and it fans out with a glorious mineral-rich, lightly spiced finish. The mouth is tingling afterward for 30 to 45 seconds. Superb -this is a strong follow-up to the 2015 and may even surpass it.
95 Burghound -
(93-95) A more deeply pitched and brooding nose offers up notes earth, underbrush, plum, cassis and plenty of sauvage influence. There is terrific punch to the very rich, intense and muscular big-bodied flavors that possess a velvety and caressing mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts considerably with the robust, powerful and moderately austere finish that delivers spectacular length. I really like the sense of definition and harmony here but note well that unlike the Chapelle, this is going to require the better part of a decade to become sufficiently civilized to be enjoyable.
95 Vinous -
(93-95) Dark, bright, saturated red. Sexy resiny spices and a hint of orange zest lift the wine's youthfully unforthcoming dark fruit aromas. Subtly complex but a bit unforthcoming, with its sweet, rich dark berry and spice flavors cut by savory minerality. A distinctly deeper style than the Charmes-Chambertin, showing more earth, spice and iron-like rare steak notes and finishing with greater grip. The Charmes is ethereal by comparison to this big boy, which finishes with a serious tannic structure and salty minerality.

About the Producer

"Perrot-Minot is one of the most exciting domaines in Burgundy."

-- Antonio Galloni

Christophe Perrot-Minot returned to his family domaine in Morey-St-Denis in 1991 after spending several years in Burgundy’s Cote d’Or working as a courtier, or liaison between growers and negociants. Prior to his arrival, his father Henri had operated primarily as a grower, selling the majority of the family production in bulk. With the arrival of his son Christophe, the focus was shifted and all but a small portion of the Passetoutgrain was now being bottled under the Perrot-Minot label. Christophe is now firmly entrenched as one of the benchmark producers in the Cote de Nuits and today his wines have become even more refined than those from a decade ago.
