The 2023 Domaine Perrot-Minot Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is a beautifully refined Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most revered villages and one of its most respected producers. Sourced from old-vine parcels planted on the clay-limestone soils of Vosne-Romanée, the wine captures the appellation’s signature combination of perfume, silkiness and depth. Christophe Perrot-Minot’s meticulous vineyard work and restrained winemaking allow the elegance and complexity of this celebrated terroir to shine through.
The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry aromas layered with rose petal, violet and exotic spice. The palate is silky and beautifully textured, with vibrant red fruit supported by fine tannins, fresh acidity and subtle mineral notes. Elegant yet concentrated, it finishes long and seamless with remarkable purity, finesse and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Vosne-Romanée that perfectly showcases the appellation’s reputation for combining power with grace. Its perfume, texture and complexity make it an excellent match for duck, roast quail, pork loin, mushroom dishes and fine French cuisine. Enjoy from 2027 onwards or cellar through 2040+ as it develops greater savoury depth, spice and tertiary complexity.
