Morey-Saint-Denis La Rue De Vergy Perrot-Minot 2017

The wine

Below the Clos de Tart, this wine carries a certain minerality since its soil is made up partly of rocks. The quality of this domain’s wines has been improving in precision over the last ten years according to Bettane and Deseauve, becoming unmissable references. This Morey-Saint-Denis develops a charming and explosive aromatic bouquet with aromas of cherry which blend with the gentle aromas of cloves. Its palate retains supple tannins to give a wine that is easy to enjoy.

The domaine’s history began in the 19th century with the generation of Amédée Merme who attempted to expand the family property. In 1902, Armand Merme took over and made many innovations in the field of vinification. The name Perrot-Minot was associated to the domaine in 1963, when one of Armand Merme’s four daughters married Henri Perrot-Minot. They took over the reins when Armand Merme passed away. Since 1993, their son Christophe Perrot-Minot (a wine broker for seven years) has run the domaine and still does today. His goal is to optimise the work and quality of the wines, thus carrying on the family tradition. The domaine has 13 hectares of vines distributed throughout the Côte de Nuits in villages, premier crus and grand crus which it completes by purchasing some grapes in Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. These fine wines express the identity of each of these different terroirs. A magnificent name of the Côte de Nuits.
