Christophe Perrot-Minot, Chapelle Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2017

Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Christophe Perrot-Minot, Chapelle Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2017

Spicy dark fruit, full and muscular but with some gloss and silk to the tannins. The polar opposite of Perrot Minot’s Charmes-Chambertin - richer and more broad-shouldered. Solid, and sturdy deep dark berry flavours with earthier notes of forest floor. A powerhouse. From a fine parcel of 90 year-old vines that produces tiny “millerande” berries year in year out.

Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is much more reserved on the nose compared to the Charmes-Chambertin, the fruit a little darker. There is something of a crushed-pebble, almost beach-like scent, a distant tang of cockle sheds that surfaces with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and a little more depth and grip than the Charmes-Chambertin, even if it does not quite display the same sensuality and flesh on the finish. Good potential.
