Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a clean, precise bouquet that is focused and direct, offering red and black fruit, crushed stone and more terroir expression than the Mazoyères. The palate is medium-bodied, the sappy red fruit on the entry laced with marmalade and dried quince, and grippy in the mouth, with a touch of spiciness, although it does not fan out on the finish as I hoped. Hopefully it will fill out with bottle age.Inc. GSTSG$7,457.21 -
Vinous (96-98)
The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a supremely well-defined, stony, intense bouquet that is just as detailed as the Chambertin, if not more so. This has fathomless depth. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, taut and linear at first then fanning out beautifully toward the finish. Immense grace and grandeur combine to make an utterly compelling Clos-de-Bèze.Inc. GSTSG$8,874.21 -

Burghound (96-98)
(Don't Miss!) This is aromatically similar to the Chambertin but, as is usually the case, much spicier and this spiciness carries over to the beautifully textured and lavishly rich flavors that possess that wonderful quality of inner mouth perfume, all wrapped in a powerful and gorgeously textured and massively long finish. This beauty is at once sophisticated yet robust and a wine that should live for several decades. Brilliant and one of the wines of the vintage.Inc. GSTSG$19,910.46 -
(3x150cl) 2012Vinous (95-98)
Bright ruby-red. Inky blackberry, blueberry, violet, wild herbs and game on the nose, along with a suggestion of fresh blood. An essence of Chambertin soil on the palate, with outstanding black fruit intensity complicated by game and lifted by a floral topnote. This explosive wine features a mouth-staining, slowly mounting finish, with noble tannins perfectly supported by strong extract. Demonstrative already but with great energy and grip to support extended aging. A great Chambertin in the making.Inc. GSTSG$6,002.06 -

Vinous (94-97)
A big, rich wine, the 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru emphasizes extract and density, followed by gorgeous aromatics that give the wine its sense of dimension. Dried rose petals, white pepper and blood orange add elements of intrigue in an intense, resonant Chambertin that is likely to require quite a bit of cellaring. Power and finesse collide in a Chambertin of true pedigree.Inc. GSTSG$6,988.51 -

The 2014 Chambertin Grand Cru seems to offer more fruit intensity on the nose compared to the 2014 Clos-de-Bèze, with cranberry and fresh strawberry, and a touch of damp woodland in the background. It gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied but with great substance and depth than the Clos de Bèze; there is a keen line of acidity cutting through the intense red berry fruit, and wonderful mineralité and tension on the finish. It just gradually gains in intensity before it fans out with a sense of confidence and entitlement, as befitting a Chambertin. This is a superb wine.Inc. GSTSG$2,057.00 -

(6x75cl) 2015Vinous (96-98)
Dark red with ruby tones. Deeper, darker and earthier than the Clos de Bèze, conveying aromas of dark raspberry, spices and rare steak but less of the high-pitched mineral and floral notes of its sibling. Large-scaled, brooding and backward, but still more red fruits than black in style, with its density and power leavened by electric acidity. Combines incredible thickness and volume without a light touch, thanks to penetrating soil-driven minerality. Finishes with an uncanny impression of solidity but no excess weight. This brilliant Chambertin is built for a very long life in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$9,124.91 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has the most backward and surly nose of Christophe Perrot-Minot’s Grand Crus, but it just needs a few swirls to reveal enticing raspberry, cranberry, brown spice and slightly ferrous aromas. The mineralité starts to reveal itself with aeration. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, gorgeous pure raspberry preserve notes mixed with blood orange, sea salt and light quince, and marmalade notes toward the succinct finish. Predictably as it might read, this is the best 2017 from Perrot-Minot.Inc. GSTSG$6,394.46 -
(1x75cl) 2019Vinous (95-97)
The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru boasts enthralling precision and detail on the nose with exuberant black cherry and wild strawberry fruit, a fine sense of mineralité and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very harmonious and expansive in the mouth with a very spicy finish thanks to a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper. What a lovely Chambertin!Inc. GSTSG$2,423.70 -
Vinous (95-97)
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very complex bouquet that unfolds in the glass, a mélange of red and black fruit, pressed violets, rose petal and just a touch of autumn woodland. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of white pepper on the entry, quite saline in the mouth with a sapid finish. Like Perrot-Minot’s other wines, this rests in the red fruit profile and it has the substance to age well in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$24,240.95 -
Vinous (94)
One of the highlights in the range, the 2011 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveaux Cuvée Ultra possesses superb balance. Sweet herbs, crushed rose petals, licorice, spices all meld together gracefully in the glass. This is a great example of the Perrot-Minot house style. All the elements fall into place effortlessly in a rich, resonant Chambolle endowed with tons of pure structure. Perrot-Minot used 50% whole clusters here, but they are barely noticeable. The finish simply dazzles.Inc. GSTSG$5,257.94 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes offers a gorgeous interplay of rich Chambolle fruit along with brighter aromatic notes and tension that are often found in the northern sector of the village, all backed up by silky tannins that confer finesse. The 2013 is mostly fruit from Les Bussières, along with three barrels that would have been the straight Combe d'Orveau Chambolle.Inc. GSTSG$1,356.40 -
(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (90)
(the same blend of elements as the 2015 version): Bright, dark red. Cool scents of dark cherry, licorice and stone. Silky and nicely concentrated but showing little easy sweetness to its youthfully medicinal flavors of cherry and menthol. As there's less mid-palate flesh here than in the '15 version, the tannins come across as a bit tight today but the classically dry finish is tactile and persistent. Christophe Perrot-Minot says this wine is closed in the early going owing to its sizable Combe d'Orveau component.Inc. GSTSG$1,095.97 -
Burghound (89-92)
A ripe and fresh but markedly more restrained nose speaks of liqueur-like red cherry aromas that display added breadth in the form of anise, lavender and rose petal. The middle weight flavors possess a caressing mouth feel before terminating in a lacy, detailed and highly complex finale. The significant amount of 1er juice is evident and this is lovely and very Chambolle-esque in character.Inc. GSTSG$1,266.01 -
Vinous (90-92)
(Perrot-Minot's only Chambolle cuvée in 2016, consisting of five barrels of village wine and four of premier cru): Bright, dark red. Sexy scents of red berries, spices, wild herbs and rose petal. A step up in intensity from the village Morey, offering a seamless texture and also brisk minerality to its flavors of sappy red berries and spices. Still a bit youthfully clenched but the spicy, subtly palate-staining features lovely stony mineral grip. Perrot-Minot says that this wine does not have the breed or complexity to be bottled as premier cru owing to its moderate ripeness but it will nonetheless be a 2016 to seek out.Inc. GSTSG$1,494.91 -
Vinous (91)
Bright, deep red. Roasted aromas of black raspberry and smoke; slightly reduced. Supersweet, concentrated and lush, with terrific generosity and breadth to the red fruit and earth flavors. Finishes very long, with sweet tannins. This has the texture to offer pleasure early, but give it plenty of aeration if you plan to pop a bottle anytime soon.Inc. GSTSG$496.93 -
Vinous (91-94)
Red-ruby. Reticent aromas of redcurrant, dried flowers, iron, smoke, rocks and gingery spice. Bright and sappy on the palate, with insidious sweetness and intensity to its dark fruit flavors. Very stylish wine, finishing pure, spicy and long, with firm but very fine tannins.Inc. GSTSG$798.86 -
(1x75cl) 2014Burghound (92-94)
This is cool and pure to the point of being almost timid with its restrained array of red currant, pomegranate, earthy and softly sauvage-inflected nose. There is fine intensity to the sleek and satin-textured flavors that are muscular yet dance across the palate on the saline and wonderfully refreshing finish. This is clearly built-to-age yet it's already inviting.Inc. GSTSG$619.75 -

Full dark red. Pungent scents of raspberry, crushed rock and rose petal. At once silky, sappy and savory, conveying a captivating light touch and terrific inner-mouth tension to its sharply delineated red raspberry, pomegranate and crushed-rock flavors. Finishes with compelling mounting perfume and saliva-inducing briskness. Not at all a fleshpot for the vintage, this classy Charmes-Chambertin struck me as rather Chambolle-like.Inc. GSTSG$1,067.28 -
Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2016 Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a generous bouquet with perfumed red cherries, crushed strawberry and cranberry scents laced with Chinese five spice and crushed flower petal aromas. I appreciate the focus and elegance here. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red berry fruit, extremely well balanced and restrained (not unlike Denis Bachelet's that I tasted in my prior visit). There is plenty of tension here, and there is a satisfying salinité on the finish that lingers long after the wine has been swallowed. This is a superb Charmes-Chambertin from Christophe Perrot-Minot.Inc. GSTSG$916.86 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, which comes from Perrot-Minot’s own vineyard, is a bit sullen on the nose compared to the Griottes. It never quite obtains the same amplitude, feels a little timid, a Charmes that doesn’t charm at the moment probably due to a bit of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple, rounded tannins. The concentration is loaded on the back end of this Charmes though I feel that the Griottes has more delineation and nerve.Inc. GSTSG$1,219.25 -
Vinous (90-92)
(35 hectoliters per hectare produced in 2016; half of this wine was from the frosted Les Justices and the other half from Les Seuvrées): Healthy bright red. Aromas of red fruits and spices complicated by wild notes of iron, fresh blood and game. Fat, silky and smoky, showing insidious depth to its perfumed flavors of red fruits, smoke and spices. This superb village wine finishes with lovely length.Inc. GSTSG$1,140.66
