2013 Morey Saint Denis La Rue de Vergy Domaine Perrot-Minot

Perrot-Minot's 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis La Rue de Vergy is bright, focused and nicely delineated in the glass. Freshly cut flowers, red cherries, stone fruits, mint and slate all pulse with energy and salinity in this high-toned, aromatically expressive Burgundy. Readers will find all of the signatures of the vintage here. - Antonio Galloni

As one would reasonably expect this is both more elegant and notably more complex with its airy nose of ripe red and dark currant aromas that are subtly laced with spice and stone nuances. The stone character can also be found on the vibrant medium weight flavors that possess a lovely mouth feel thanks to the fine-grained tannins on the balanced and persistent finale.

Deep, bright red. Enticing aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and cherry accented by subtle spices and rose petal. Supple and fine-grained, showing good finesse to its fruit and spice flavors. Has the tannic spine to provide for a decade or more of useful life. - Stephen Tanzer

Rich and dense, showing black pepper, black cherry, raspberry and stone flavors. Turns leaner on the finish, with a light burr to the tannins. Should come together in a year or two. Best from 2018 through 2027. 241 cases made.
