The 2nd wine in the Gevrey Chambertin 2016 Grand Cru lineup tasted blind. My original notes said some whole bunch in evidence , which later was partly right when the identity was revealed. Perrot Minot use whole berry maceration but the grapes are de stemmed. Red fruits predominate on the rich and powerful palate. Quite savoury (I thought coming from the stems) with medium tannins. I have little experience with this producer but Roscoe from Prince is a huge fan. Saying the structure and power comes from tiny yields, old vines and thick skins.

The 9th of 9 in the Gevrey Chambertin bracket and my equal Top pointed Wine with the Mazoyeres. Glorious and gorgeous red fruited aromas with sap and earthy energy. Lovely supple Tannins. Could happily drink this now but will live for decades.

Holiday part fare. Decanted for 4 hours, otherwise I think it would haven very tight. Really beautiful nose: floral notes with earthy undertones. Lots of dark fruit on the palate. Very youthful.
