Domaine Perrot Minot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2018, 750ml

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 comes from a 0.80-hectare parcel planted in 1957, located on shallow, arable soils composed of brown and blond clay-limestone mixed with gravel1. Grapes were fully destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, following a cold maceration. The wine was aged for 16–18 months in 20–30% new French oak barrels, without racking, fining, or filtration, and bottled by gravity.

Tasting Note:

Slightly earthy notes on the nose underscore red cherry and dark currant fruits with very pretty floral nuances. On the palate the wine is very delineated and bright with extremely fine tannins giving the wine a supple structure. The finish is fairly long and there is no hint of the heat that one finds in so many 2018 Grand Crus from this village. Very elegant.
