Domaine Perrot-Minot – The Crystal-Cut Precision of the Côte de Nuits

Old vines, exemplary viticulture and a finely tuned interpretation of Burgundy’s greatest climats

Rooted since the 19th century between Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Perrot-Minot stands among the major signatures of the Côte de Nuits. Since 1993, under the direction of Christophe Perrot-Minot, the estate has experienced a remarkable rise, driven by a vision uniting technical mastery, respect for living ecosystems and an uncompromising commitment to expressing Burgundy’s finest terroirs.

With around 13 hectares of vines — many extremely old, some more than a century — the domaine produces wines celebrated for their purity, finesse and exceptional precision.

Terroir & Vineyard – A Mosaic of Prestigious Origins

The vineyard holdings of Domaine Perrot-Minot extend across a collection of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated climats, spanning Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée. These terroirs lie on a tapestry of fractured limestone, white marl, fine clays and stony mineral veins, offering a remarkable diversity in the expression of Pinot Noir.

The domaine’s old vines, cultivated with extreme rigor, form the backbone of the Perrot-Minot style, enabling wines of rare depth and definition.

Viticulture & Winemaking – Infusion, Purity & Energy

The domaine follows manual, organic and biodynamically inspired viticulture — not for certification, but for coherence and precision in the work.

• strictly controlled yields ;
• entirely manual harvesting ;
• multi-stage, extremely rigorous sorting ;
• meticulous parcel-by-parcel selection.

In the cellar, Christophe Perrot-Minot embraces a true infusion philosophy, tailored to each vintage:

• judicious use of whole clusters ;
• gentle, carefully calibrated extraction ;
• slow fermentations to enhance fruit expression ;
• measured élevage with around 20–30% new oak.

The objective is clear: to preserve aromatic purity, natural tension and the most sincere expression of each individual climat.

Wine Style – Finesse, Energy & Crystal-Clear Precision

The wines of Domaine Perrot-Minot are defined by a recognisable identity:

• luminous, fine and precise aromatics ;
• a deep, silky texture — the estate’s hallmark ;
• elegant, seamlessly integrated tannins ;
• crystalline fruit purity ;
• remarkable energy and vibrant length ;
• significant ageing potential, especially for Premiers and Grands Crus.

Each wine offers a vibrant, finely chiselled interpretation of its terroir — a style both contemporary and deeply rooted in Burgundian tradition.
