Perrot Minot, Charmes Chambertin Vv

Perrot Minot, Charmes Chambertin Vv(from a 1. 5 ha parcel situated directly across from Domaine Rousseaus parcel of Chambertin). A brooding and intensely earthy nose features notes of dark berries, plum, smoked tea and a hint of animale that is also reflected by the focused and beautifully intense medium bodied flavors that possess an unusually refined mouth feel. There is muscle here but essentially this is a Charmes of refinement though the hugely long finish is explosive. (92 95)
