Perrot-Minot Griotte Chambertin Grand Cru 1500ml

22018

Burghound 91-93: A fresh, ripe and quite spicy nose offers up notes of both red and black cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and violet along with a whisper of newly turned earth. There is excellent complexity to the punchy and dense middle weight plus flavors that exude evident minerality on the sappy and refined but powerful finish. I very much like the delivery and in short, this is gorgeous.

2019

Burghound 92-94: A somber but agreeably fresh nose consists primarily of red and dark cherry, plum, violet and a whiff of underbrush. The super-sleek and gorgeously intense medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the muscular, tightly coiled and sneaky long finish. I very much like the balance of fruit, acid and tannin components and this is a Griotte of finesse and refinement.

2021

Burghound 92-95: This is also seductively perfumed with its strikingly elegant, pure and spicy mix of both red and dark raspberry that also reveals a plethora of floral elements. There is superb punch to the beautifully textured medium weight plus flavors that exude a more subtle minerality on the strikingly long and well-balanced finale. This too could use better depth but that is all but guaranteed to develop in time. Textbook Griotte.

2022

Burghound 93-95: Here there is no reductive funk to the ripe aromas of the essence of dark currant, plum, violet and subtle spice wisps. Like the Combe d'Orveau, there is first-rate depth to the solidly concentrated flavors that possess a wonderfully beguiling texture before terminating a well-balanced, youthfully austere and beautifully long finish where a bead of minerality slowly emerges. This is terrific and a wine that should age accordingly.
