Domaine Perrot Minot Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 2018, 750ml

Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 is sourced from a gently sloping parcel in one of the sunniest and earliest-ripening sectors of Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines are over 70 years old, planted on soils composed of white limestone scree with excellent permeability, underlain by a marl-limestone substratum with exposed rock outcrops. 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:

The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a much bolder and more expressive nose compared to the Charmes-Chambertin, offering copious blackberry, raspberry and crushed chalk aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious right to the end, delivering more depth and substance than the Charmes-Chambertin.
