Domaine Perrot Minot Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru "La Combe d'Orveau" Cuvee Ultra 2022, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir sourced from a 0.6-hectare parcel planted in 1942, located in the lower section of the Combe d'Orveau climat near the Musigny Grand Cru boundary. The soil here is fine-textured with higher silt content, contributing to depth and freshness. Grapes were destemmed and underwent a cool pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, with pumping over preferred to punching down. Ageing lasted 12–14 months in French oak barrels from Tronçais and Allier, with approximately 40% new oak used for this premier cru.
The "Cuvée Ultra" designation reflects a micro-selection of the oldest vines and aims to express the purest identity of the terroir through minimal intervention and heightened precision.

Tasting Note:

Aromas are restrained at first, revealing raspberry, strawberry, and floral notes. The palate is silky and mineral-driven, with firm structure and a long, balanced finish. Overall, the wine reflects the precision and elegance of its terroir, shaped by old vines and meticulous vinification.
