Domaine Perrot Minot Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2018, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir sourced from 50–55-year-old vines planted mid-slope in the Clos de Bèze climat of Gevrey-Chambertin, at 270–280 meters altitude. The soil is composed of Bajocian crinoidal limestone and marl, with a substratum of limestone scree and silt. Fermentation was carried out using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with partial whole-cluster inclusion depending on vintage conditions; in 2018, a portion of the fruit was fermented with stems. The wine was aged for approximately 16–18 months in French oak barrels, with a restrained use of new oak, under 30%. (Maison wine)

Tasting Note:

Aromatically, it shows blackcurrant, cherry, graphite, and smoke. The palate is structured yet silky, with fine tannins and a prolonged, mineral-driven finish. Overall, the wine shows depth, precision, and restrained power, reflecting its noble terroir and meticulous vinification.
