Uh, too bad, this was just a shadow of the 2007 Charmes-Chambertin consumed in November. Obviously an outstanding wine in the scale that is "Redwine" but far from the quality expected from a top Grand Cru vineyard and a more than capable producer:( Yes, I know the vintage is not considered the greatest, but the mentioned 2007 Charmes was a goosebump-inducing beauty just two months ago. This had some elegant Cherry fruit to it and a rustic whiff to it. Only medium bodied and the finish marked by a slightly high acidity. Closer to 91 than to 93.

Some pretty aromatics - all low-yield, brambly dark fruit and spice notes. Less giving on the palate. Showing more wood and drying, aggressive tannins. Iron. More masculine styling. Hard to see the structural elements smoothing out before the aromatic dry out. Maybe not reaching Bèze heights, but enjoyable enough.

(CLOS DE BEZE Perrot-Minot) UPDATE: California Shipping We will begin shipping to California the week of Nov 8th so please plan accordingly. Keep in mind, an adult is required to sign for your boxes. Please note: a number of automatically generated UPS emails indicate shipping to California is next week but that is not accurate – all packages to California, regardless of the UPS email you’ve received, will ship the week of November 8th. Thank you – enjoy your wine! - Garagiste ****************** Perrot-Minot Dear Friends, It’s no secret I'm a staunch supporter of 2007 red Burgundy – the high acid/low-fruit style of the vintage is a showcase for terroir and the minerality in the 2007s is the most transparent since 2001 (another terrific year). I'm sure many of you are scratching your heads right now (“what about 2002, 2005 and the upcoming 2009s?”) but the fact remains – Burgundy’s medium-weight vintages often produce the biggest wow – certainly from a delicacy and expression standpoint. When it comes down to it, what sets Burgundy apart from every other wine growing region in the world is the elusive combination of a low-alcohol, filigreed framework aligned with a pinpoint (often feminine and esoteric) display of a specific parcel of vines. 2007 has that in spades. As far as top 2007s are concerned, Christophe Perrot-Minot produces a much sought after group of shockingly expensive (and rare) examples that now rival any of the top-tier addresses in the Cote de Nuits. While these are not for the casual observer, they should prove to be a time-capsule of magic with another 10-15 years in the bottle: 2007 Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambertin Clos de Beze - (compare at $375-500+ in the US) (175 cases produced) 2007 Domaine Perrot-Minot Chapelle-Chambertin - (compare at $375-425+ in the US) (100 cases produced) To order: niki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to arrive with perfect provenance in a few weeks or so (please check OARS for local pick up after November 15th).

Perrot Minot Chambertin & Clos de Beze dinner: (A) Some spices to the nose along with ripe berries and earth. Clean with a darker tone than the Chambertin.

Weak nose for clos de Beze. Lack of the floral note.

Domaine Perrot-Minot Tasting/Dinner with Some Other Great Burgundy from DNS (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Open 3 hours before serving. In 03/06/07 flight. Nicely spiced start with both black and red cherry start-to-finish. Very good length, very good balance. Seemingly just entering its peak drinking window.
