With history dating back as far as the late 19th Century, Christophe Perrot-Minot took over the domaine from his father Henri in 1993, right after his 7 years of practice as a professional wine broker. The estate has holdings that came from his maternal grandfather Merme which explains the similarity of their holdings with Domaine Taupenot-Merme, and also from an acquisition of Domaine Pernin-Rossin in 2000. Their approach to viticulture is to give full respect to the terroir and nature, in which no chemical fertilizers or herbicides are used. With an amazing holding of old vines aged from 40 to 100 years old, the perfect match of low yields and Christophe’s meticulousness are all core to the great quality of the Perrot-Minot wines. The grapes are all hand-picked and matured in a maximum of 20% new oak and around 50% whole bunches across the range. The resulting wines are ripe, refined and concentrated, even though with an almost modern intensity and polish, their nuances and character still stand out powerfully. 

This week we have received a fantastic parcel of various wines from Domaine Perrot-Minot including two flagships: Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau 'Cuvee Ultra Vieilles Vignes' 1er Cru and Nuits-Saint-Georges La Richemone 'Cuvee Ultra - Vignes Centenaires', 1er Cru which are made from vines which are more than 100 years old. Have a look and let us know if you are interested in a few -
