FEATURES
🏰 The 2010 Perrot Minot Nuits Saint-Georges La Richemone VV 1er Cru, a red Burgundy, comes from a highly regarded vintage in Burgundy, particularly for Pinot Noir, known for its balance, purity of fruit, and excellent aging potential. While specific tasting notes for this exact wine and vintage are not readily available, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru wines, especially from old vines ('VV' for Vieilles Vignes), are celebrated for their depth, structure, and aromatic complexity. Expect notes of dark berries, cherry, and earthy undertones, often with hints of spice and a firm tannic backbone that promises graceful evolution. La Richemone is a well-regarded vineyard, often producing wines of significant character and longevity.
🍴 This robust red Burgundy is an ideal partner for classic French cuisine. Think roasted game birds, duck confit, or beef bourguignon. For a more international approach, it would beautifully complement grilled lamb chops with rosemary, mushroom risotto, or even a rich Peking duck. Medium to aged cheeses would also be a superb pairing.
🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or a quiet evening savoring a fine meal. Its structure and aging potential make it a wine to be enjoyed now or cellared for further development.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Perrot Minot is headquartered in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits region, north of Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Red wine is mainly made from Pinot Noir. The history of the winery can be traced back to the "Domaine Merme-Morizot" at the end of the 19th century. In 1993, it was taken over by Christophe Perrot-Minot, who acquired Domaine Pernin-Rossin and its assets in 2000. In 1999, the domaine also began a négociant business, producing wine from fruit from its partner vineyards, including several Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. The winery produces wine from seven Grand Cru vineyards, the most famous of which is Chambertin, as well as a series of First Growth vineyards. Yields are strictly limited and green harvesting is done in specific plots, so some vines can only produce five bunches of grapes.
