This is as fabulous as usual this year, the old vines giving a spectacular richness, both in terms of the filled-out completeness on the nose and the weight and volume in the mouth, all balanced and held in check by a little frisson of tautness on the finish. A truly exceptional Nuits Saint Georges. Drinking range: 2028 - 2040 L&S (Nov 2021)

Rich and creamy. Concentrated and dense. Ubersmooth chocolate tannins. The freshness comes up under the palate to a fresh and spicy finish, with notes of anise and oregano. Drinking range: 2028 - 2035 Rating: 95 World of Fine Wine Magazine (Apr 2022)

These vines planted in 1902 sit at the northern end of Nuits in the line of Boudots (Nuits) and Aux Malconsorts (Vosne). Christophe had 1 hectare 02 ares that he rented until LVMH swept in and purchased half of it in 2021. Christophe's sense of loss was palpable. However, he will continue to make this stellar wine, which in 2020 turns out to be a sexy, spicy and lightly smoky blend of succulent red plums and field strawberries laced with flinty minerality. Crisp tannins and mouth-watering acidity deliver tremendous refreshment and structure. Drinking range: 2024 - 2035 Rating: 95 Christy Canterbury MW - TimAtkin.com (Feb 2022)

(from vines first planted in 1902). A cool, restrained and wonderfully elegant and airy nose presents wafting aromas of red currant, plum, dark currant, spice and essence of violet. The super-sleek and seductively textured middle weight flavors brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract that buffers the dense but ultra-fine grain tannins supporting the equally persistent and youthfully austere finish. In a word, marvelous. Drinking range: 2035 - Rating: 93-95 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2022)

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.
