    Domaine Perrot Minot, Charmes Chambertin, Du Dessus, Grand Cru, Vieilles Vignes, 2020

    A more serious and stern Charmes than usual with quite some intensity to it. Nuanced, multi-layered ripe red berry and cherry fruits and a fresh, savoury minerality, ruddered by fine-cut tannins. This has a sprinter's toned strength and a ballerina's poise. Christophe Perrot-Minot has a stunning parcel of old vines in the prime haut part of Charmes, opposite Rousseau's Chambertin. There is much less clay here than further down the slope, which gives a very refined wine.

    The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru just shows a little more of the whole bunch compared to say, the Griottes, though it lends an attractive peppery bass note to the red cherry and strawberry top notes. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, gently building to a slightly creamy-texture, seductive finish. Lovely.
