Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2022

Clear medium ruby tinge with a pronounced red fruit and bold cherry aroma, harmonious by a gentle oak undertone. The palate is dry, with a zesty tartness and a light tannic texture, yielding a smooth and bracing finish.

Chambertin's solid structure demands patience, with a better pairing suited for extended aging. The Clos de Beze, on the other hand, offers a more smooth profile, right for a younger palate. Chambertin's optimal savoring window is likely to be 10-15 years, with a more austere character that may not be to every taste. The Perrot-Minot estate is based in the MSD, which may contribute to its distinct flavor profile.

The wine's vibrant sheen is a captivating sight. The fragrance unfolds with a sweet and inviting bouquet of ripe raspberries and strawberries, supported by the warm, spicy, and herbal notes of cinnamon, earth, and crushed flowers. The impression is a full bodied and textured experience, with a broad and dense structure that yields to a nuanced and layered profile of blue and red berries, seasoned with nuanced spices and minerals.
