A more forceful style. There is tannic force, but it's not just that - this has drive and is bursting with energy:- a touch ferocious (but in an attractive way!) Very grown-up wild hedgerow fruit. Very long, great potential. Drinking range: 2025 - L&S (Nov 2015)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.

Full dark red. Strong smoky minerality on the nose, with raspberry and spice notes emerging with air; less subtle than the Charmes today but more satisfying and expressive. Plush, fat and sweet on the palate, with the dark raspberry, spice, licorice and black pepper flavors currently dominated by saline minerality. Seriously dense, rich wine with a rising, palate-staining finish that throws off notes of underbrush, tobacco, iron and spices. The noble tannins owe largely to the high percentage of millerandé berries. A superb showing for this wonderfully silky wine, which will probably be for drinking after the Charmes. Drinking range: 2024 - 2036 Rating: 94+ Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Mar 2017)

100% whole bunch. Dense crimson. Rather opulent nose. Gouleyant and so gorgeous! Fresh yet sumptuous. Savoury edge. Very fine tannins on the end. Redcurrants. Long and one could drink this earlier if you were in a hurry. Drinking range: 2025 - 2045 Rating: 18 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)

As is usually the case with this wine it is much more deeply pitched and more obvious Gevrey in character with its pungently earth and animale aromas of various red and dark berries that are trimmed in subtle spice and sandalwood nuances. There is excellent volume and power to the full-bodied and muscular flavors that terminate in a very firm, deep and impressively persistent finish. This isn't particularly refined but the complexity is impressive. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 92-94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2016)

Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot

Christophe Perrot-Minot is now the fourth generation of his family producing wine on the estate after his great grandfather Amédée Merme devoted himself to the management and production of wine over 130 years ago. The estate has gone from strength to strength – always keeping the highest standards. Integrated viticulture has been practiced for many years now which has been adapted especially for the terroir. No herbicide or chemical fertilizer is used, instead, Christophe prefers to “stand back and listen to this terroir, only intervening when necessary or when the weather requires it, never systematically.” This is one of the star domaines of the whole of Burgundy.
