From vines planted in 1945. Delicious. There is some delicate grip here and some tension but beautiful pert, red and purple fruit. This is not a heavyweight. Clever for the vintage a gorgeously lacy, classy Chambolle with persistence and drive - but so genteel. L&S (Nov 2019)

A restrained nose grudgingly brings to light its spicy and notably ripe aromas of cassis, poached plum and violet. The highly energetic and wonderfully refined middle weight flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality, all wrapped in a complex, long and mildly austere finish. A lovely Fuées.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru comes from a vineyard that Perrot-Minot has owned since 1996, but until now he has opted not to show it to me, as he only makes two or three barrels. It has a taut and very delineated bouquet that is reminiscent of Mugnier in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, supple and gentle in style, with pure raspberry preserve and wild strawberry notes on the satisfying finish.

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.
