Domaine Perrot-Minot is located in Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy. The 13 hectares of vineyards are farmed according to organic principles but without certification. Christophe Perrot-Minot is the current winemaker at the domaine.

Christophe Perrot-Minot's wines highlight both the purity of fruit and the natural expression of the terroir. These are silky, fine-tuned wines; there is a precision here and a density, yet never do the wines seem bulky or aggressive – elegance comes first.

The top wines of the domaine are: Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, Clos Vougeot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, and Mazoyères-Chambertin Cuvée Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes.

The Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2005 scored 99 - 100, the Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 2005 scored 96 - 97, and the Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2005 scored 96 - 97 by the Wine Advocate.

Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Vieilles Vignes 2005: “Perrot-Minot’s 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze Vieilles Vignes, from 50-year-old vines, leads with a jaw-dropping nose of cassis, licorice, citrus zest, black raspberry liqueur, wood smoke, and candied violets. In the mouth, this presents a smelted alliance of liqueur-like black fruit essence, saline minerality, and deep, roasted meatiness. A subtly oily, creamily-textured feel covers a wealth of refined tannins. For all of its sheer finishing, distilled-fruit intensity and grip, this never neglects the first duty of wine – to refresh – and displays gravity-defying lift as it heads down the runway and takes off for a spectacularly long, high-flying finish of utmost clarity and replete with nuances. Plan on following this wine – should you be so lucky as to latch onto a bottle – for at least 15 to 20 years.”

Christophe Perrot-Minot has been the winemaker at Domaine Perrot-Minot since 1993.

The estate was founded in the middle of the 19th century. Due to the efforts of Amédée Merme, the domaine was enlarged at the beginning of the 20th century. Along with his son, Armand Merme, they started working on technology, striving to produce quality wines.

In the 1970s, Marie‑France Merme continued her father's work, Armand Merme, with her husband, Henri Perrot-Minot. When they succeeded the estate, they renamed it to Perrot-Minot.

Christophe Perrot-Minot, the son of Henri Perrot-Minot, joined the estate in 1993 and took over its management after working as a wine broker for seven years.

The estate now has 13 hectares of vineyards spread over Burgundy, including appellations as Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Domaine Perrot-Minot's vineyards are farmed according to organic principles but without certification yet.

The vines are pruned according to the Guyot approach, which ensures good grape ripening. The harvest is done by hand, and the fruits are sorted in the vineyards first. The second sorting takes place on a sorting table in the cuverie.

The majority of vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir vines, some of which are already older than 100 years: Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru La Richemone Cuvée Ultra Vieilles Vignes and Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru La Combe d'Orveau Cuvée Ultra Vieilles Vignes as well as a range of other premier crus. Many of the village cuvées come from a blend of two vineyards alluded to in the cuvée name, like Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Justice des Seuvrées.

Christophe Perrot-Minot is amongst those who have significantly reduced the use of new wood. There is never more than 20 percent new wood, and there is typically 50 to 60 percent whole-bunch vinification. He keeps a small amount of wine in glass globes for several years to see how they develop without oxygen.

Each wine is bottled without prior filtering, and they have had a special traceability strip since 2005 that displays a unique number to prevent counterfeiting.
