Perrot-Minot, Gevrey-Chambertin

This was remarkably fresh on pop and pour with bright cherry fruit and moderate tannins, almost like a Beaune wine. Delicious for about 45 min and then started to fall apart in the glass, but I was surprised it was good for that long.

1999 vintage

Fully mature bottle. The nose really is its best feature. Dark raspberry and black cherry fruit. Sea shell and crushed rocks. There is real volume. Palate has become silky on the attack. Falls off a bit too quickly. This was clearly built for fruit as the balance on the finish is a tad lacking. Still a good drink. But I would drink up. (89)

2005 vintage

This started very dense and tannic. It actually came around nicely. Sure, it always had a pretty hard edge, but for the most part it had dark, dark red fruit, textured, rich, with a pleasant mouthfeel and swallow. Dare I say it will continue to improve.

2005 vintage

Teinte vraiment tertiaire, au bord tuilé, on se dirait presque qu'il est temps de le boire... Au nez, il est assez mûr, séducteur, épicé et un rien sudiste, une griotte macérée dans l'alcool vient cependant nous rappeler qu'il s'agit d'un pinot. La bouche cherche aussi à séduire par un joli boisé ambitieux offrant une matière soyeuse, un grain caressant, des arômes d'épices douces, de pêche (oui! étrange); ainsi ce Gevrey travaillé manque à mon gout de typicité "terroir", il est …

Perrot-Minot 2001-2005 Tasting (Chicagoland IL) : Dense and meaty with lots of black fruit and roasted meat, everything in wonderful harmony, just less complex than the 1er Crus in the flight. But the most enjoyable tonight.

2005 vintage

Solid - nothing spectacular.

2009 vintage

Opened 30 minutes before serving. Lots of black berry and cherry throughout with good+ density for its level. Nicely fresh and well spiced when first poured, more earth emerged with more air. Really excellent Village level wine, this started losing steam after open three hours.

2005 vintage

A big step up from the bottle tasted last year. Gorgeous dark burgundy color. Like past bottles, the fruit on the nose is absolutely terrific. There is still evidence of heavy oak treatment, but this bottle has absorbed more of the oak than past bottles. There is a lovely mature sweetness to the finish that was not there before. Still too much manipulation. I like it but look forward to trying more recent vintages. (89)

2005 vintage

Initially, Cabernet-esque rubber nose/palate. Medium-stiff tannins with some fruit hiding under there somewhere. After a few days on Coravin, and an hour open, more approachable, with tartish black cherry fruit, tooth-drying tannins right up front. Big, rustic, better with a hearty meal, like duck or a grilled flank steak. Not bad, but not my style (le Moine, Mugnier, Mugneret-Gibourg). Try again after 2021 or beyond.

2009 vintage

Well.... there is a lot to like here. The fruit is quite lovely and deep. The nose is complex and spicy. But this wine’s downfall is a dramatic over use of oak that causes the wine to finish with wood instead of what I surmise was some fantastic raw material. I hear the treatment has changed drastically at this domain which can only be good. (87?)

2005 vintage

Rather big, deep wine. Un-Pinot like at this stage. Game and funk; not subtle. Needs time?

2009 vintage

Moderate bright ruby core with amber rim. Expressive nose of red berries, leather, dried rose petals, and slightly gamey tang. Though relatively light weight on the palate and somewhat lacking in concentration, it still offers lovely red fruits, fine grained tannins, and beautifully balanced acidity. This nice village level bottling is approachable now and likely still has a number of years at its peak. 13% ABV. $74.

2009 vintage

Nice to drink right now.

2009 vintage

Drinking nicely at the moment. Well balanced with a good mix of earth, spice and black cherry with some floral components. Good value.

2009 vintage

Telltale Perrot – Minot profile on the nose. Animalistic, meaty with some pine needles and green herb spices, red berries and ripe dark cherries, flowers, smoked stones, game and a certain wildness. Exception in this vintage are a hint of furniture polish, not commonly found in Christophe’s wines? Palate is deep, with ripe fruits, cherries, spicy, creamy, but still with enough acidity to keep this from being flabby or new worldish. Open for business and rather enjoyable. Keeping together and …

2009 vintage

It is entering a good drinking spot. It is fruit driven but with a good balance between power and fruit. Compared to many other wines from 2005 it is less structured and it is accessible now.

2005 vintage

I opened this for lunch and found it in a semi-dormant state. It had a soft, compliant texture and was nicely layered with spicy notes but not much fruit to speak of. Not a particularly expressive bottle so I don't think I'll open another for several years.

2009 vintage

Fabulous, extraordinary village wine. Almost mistaken for a Grand cru! A best buy ever!

2009 vintage

Expressive and pretty nose, could smell this whole day. Sweet and smooth on entry, notes of black fruits, dark chocolate, violet, and oaks. Good acidity level, vibrant. Label indicated 13% with warmth at finish. Good balance but not very long finish. Approachable but could age few more years, should easily last 10 years. Excellent for a village level wine. Maintains good balance on 2nd day but not very persistent finish. 91-93 pts. (A)

2009 vintage

in magnum. color tending to slight tawny at the rim now. Reductive bouquet upon opening taking 20-30 minutes to blow off, then sweet aromatics of black cherry and some earthiness. Soft and smooth on the palate with good acidity that dominated upon opening, but after 30-45 minutes the fruit burst forth putting the acidity in the background and the wine in a beautiful balance. Enjoyed this with friends at Circa 1886 in Charleston.

1999 vintage

Decent. Lacking in depth. Not much on the nose or the palate.

2005 vintage

Tense but integrated and good. Nice oaky tones.

2009 vintage

slightly tawny in color, sweet scents of sour cherries and raspberries and some spice, the wine was a bit of a lightweight with soft tannins, yet delicious, just not deep and profound.

1999 vintage

Decent red burgundy: Gevrey Chambertin. Red cherry fruit, fairly strong tannins, average finish. I did not like this as much as the last bottle.

2005 vintage

Fine nose. Just not that much taste.

2005 vintage

Showing better than previous bottles. A sweet phenolic nose with some incense on the finish, still feels a touch modern but definitely improved vs last tasting.

2005 vintage

I really liked this, needed 3 hours of decant to open up. Nice giving nose of clove, strawberry, herbs, bay leaves, earth, florals and pencil . Fresh and clean palate of dark cherrys, spices, vegetables balsamico and a nice eraser rubber thing. Keep for 3-5 years.

2009 vintage

Dark ruby, almost garnet. This is open right away. The nose is a blast of red fruit and brown sugar. Full bodied with high intensity. The palate is immediately coated with pure, juicy, fleshy cherry and strawberry. Some oaky spice swirls around as well, but this is a fruit lovers wine. It is bright, so I believe the acid will keep this in great shape for a while, and the tannins quite firm. Long, showy finish.

2005 vintage

Nice nose. Bright, sour cherry up front. Finish a little short. Looking forward to the 1er crus in a couple years.

2007 vintage

Very elegant for the appellation and the vintage. Almoste weightless. Stylish Gevrey.

2009 vintage

Still a little tight at open, but comes out with a little time.

2007 vintage

Domaine Perrot-Minot Burgundies with Martine Saunier (WineBank, Menlo Park, California) : Medium cherry red color with pale meniscus; light tart red fruit, light sous bois nose with a sense of salmon skin; tight, tart red fruit, mineral palate with medium acidity; medium finish 90+ points

2007 vintage

A very solid village wine drinking well now. Great complement to grilled wild salmon.

2007 vintage

This was a real Jekyll and Hyde act, as it teetered between greatness on the nose and insipidity on the palate. Perhaps it is tightly wound, but I could sniff this wine at the bottom of a glass for hours, joyfully grasping at descriptions of new aromas that weave in and out. Upon opening it offers a nose of auto grease, talc/Dove soap, some Pinot noir rustiness, and pretty, smoky red fruit. The palate feels thin and drops off quite …

2005 vintage

Meaty aromas and slightly alcoholic once opened, but after an hour there are mineral hints and redcurrant notes. On the palate, low presence of tannins, spicy notes mixed with redcurrant and strawberry. Smooth on the throat, long lasting and creamy finish with a mineral background. A solid Burgundy wine which evolves nicely in the glass, not as elegant as other recently tasted, but very subtle that lets you appreciate every detail of the wine.

1999 vintage

Dark color. Slightly roasted/coffee aspect to the aroma. Tannins have calmed down considerably, and the levels of extraction and ripeness, which seemed over the top a few years ago, are now more or less in balance with the fruit and acid.

1999 vintage

Aromas of fruit and spice, flavors reflect the nose with cherry, strawberry and spice with a long finish. very light color. very nice wine.

2007 vintage

Pop and pour, and exciting right out of the gate (.375). I was taken aback by the gorgeous aromas of sweet spice and beautiful pinot fruit. In the mouth more surprises, as a balanced, naturally sweet, dusty dry mineral and red and a little black cherry wallop me. Five years old and the tannins are already lining up quite smooth. I let it sit and take air fot most of three hours and it just got better. A lovely and …

2005 vintage

Wonderful aged Gevrey in mag

1999 vintage

hints of cedar, cherry with a medium finish.

2005 vintage

Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL) : nose: lovely and pure nose of red cherries, earthen tones, raspberries and small berry tones. Light and aromatic but with good depth for a village wine taste: excellent light and fresh feel with medium+ acidity. Nice and pure tones of red cherries, earth and small berry tones overall: a lovely village wine. Very terroir driven with great purity and a light touch

2007 vintage

Opened and decanted 1 hour. After having the 04 the night before, I expected the 05 to need more time to open before the tannins integrated. It did not. The tannins of the 04 were not present in the 05. Nor was the same earthiness or the medicinal tinge I enjoyed so in the 04. The 05 is still earthy, but it leans toward a more elegant wine. If not for having the 2004, the previous night, I would have …

2005 vintage

bright violet nose & colour. disappointingly thin finish.

2005 vintage

Second bottle of the 2005. Fairly aromatic, with spicy, dried red cherry fruit. On the palate, lovely layers of spice, potpourri, dried red fruits. Solid underlying structure. Very nice.

2005 vintage

Excellent - very concentrated, quite jammy. Oddly, a slight hint of chevre on the nose. Drinking very well now. Very well matched with grouse and a blackberry sauce.

1999 vintage
