Perrot-Minot Charmes-Chambertin 2010 is a full-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Charmes-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits. Winemaker Christophe Perrot-Minot limits yields to around 20 to 25hl/ha for his Grands Crus. In the cellar, the wines are not punched down; rather Christophe uses gentle pumpovers to ensure only the most delicate extraction. After fermentation, the wines are matured in oak (never more than 40% new for the Grands Crus) for up to 18 months. On the 2010 Charmes-Chambertin. "Good dark red colour. Utterly captivating scents of dark raspberry, coffee, mocha, game, musky underbrush and rose petal. Sweet-verging-on-decadent, offering outstanding volume and gras but also superb inner-mouth tension and digestibility. Opulent flavours of berries and dried flowers saturate the palate with sweetness, but surprising energy keeps the wine from coming across as heavy. My sample ultimately went into a shell in the glass, suggesting that it will need time in bottle to harmonize." Vinous, 2013

The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin is irresistibly sexy, perfumed and sweet. Freshly cut roses, red raspberries and sweet spices are some of the many nuances that take shape in the glass in this beautifully detailed wine. All of the elements are in perfect harmony in this delicate, gracious Charmes. Deceptively medium in body, the Charmes has plenty of intensity and structure to drink well for many, many years. Anticipated maturity. 2020-2030.
It was great to meet up with Christophe Perrot-Minot, as I missed him last time around. Perrot-Minot is one of the most exciting domaines in Burgundy. Since 2006-2007 Christophe Perrot-Minot has begun to back away from the dark, concentrated wines he used to make, and the results are stunning. The fruit sees 5-7 days cold soak. Today Perrot-Minot does one punch down every two days, whereas previously he did three per day. In 2010 yields were down a whopping 45%. Over the last few years Perrot-Minot has expanded the range with a number of wines made from purchased fruit, including several that are sourced from Pierre Damoy. I tasted the Bourgogne, Gevrey and Chambolle from tank and the rest of the wines from barrel. I also tasted a number of 2009s that were fabulous. I will report on those wines in the April issue.
