Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 - I promised a few folks I would taste a recent Perrot-Minot wine to test their assurances that Perrot-Minot no longer makes grotesque over-oaked crap. They lied. First impression, with apologies to Robert Frost: the wood is toasty, dark and deep. But the problem here isn't just the wood, it's the heavy hand with everything. The fruit has a saline tinge to it which is OK if you like a prosciutto flavor in your Burgundy, but this one tastes rather more like Shiraz. Someone will probably advise me to try a higher-level Perrot-Minot, but this wine ought to be an overachiever. Though only village-level, Champs Perdrix borders the Gaudichots portion of La Tache, La Grande Rue, and Aux Reignots, up a steep slope from La Tache so it's a pretty cool and windy location. Not many producers make it; Bruno Clair is one of the others. Next time I feel like trying one I will buy Bruno Clair's.
