Chapelle Chambertin, Domaine Perrot-Minot 2010

A cool, complex and refined nose juxtaposes notes of plum, dark berry fruit, earth and underbrush before sliding gracefully into intensely mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess ripe tannins and outstanding length. This is a wonderfully and almost painfully intense wine where the natural minerality of En Gémeaux is very much front and center in terms of defining its character. In short, this is a balanced and very impressive effort that should also require 12 to 15 years of cellar time to realize all of its remarkable potential.
