Christophe Perrot-Minot
November 17th, 2006
A regular guest came in tonight that is always a pleasure to see. She was with a girlfriend tonight, instead of with her husband, and that makes a difference as to what wine she will order. Tonight she asked me to bring her a red burgundy between $200 and $300. I brought her a 2004 Christophe Perrot-Minot Vosne-Romanée les Beaumonts. Normally she likes a fuller bodied wine, but I decided to roll the dice on this one and it paid off. She and her girlfriend loved the wine. I splashed decanted it just to be on the safe side. The wine smells of ripe cherry, raspberry, cranberry, cedar and cola. It is medium bodied with medium-high to high acidity, and soft peppery tannins. The finish changes from fruit to spice to tannin over the course of six to eight minutes. Pretty tasty bottle of pinot noir.
