Domaine Perrot Minot, Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2008

"This is unusually complex for a very young Charmes with an expressive nose of red and blue pinot fruit, plum, underbrush and plenty of pungent Gevrey-style damp earth nuances that continue onto the supple, round, pure and seductive flavors that are supported by a tannic structure that is quite fine and outstanding length. This makes a statement yet it is not a bruiser as it also should come around relatively quickly in the context of the appellation." - Allen Meadows
