2022 Perrot-Minot Morey St. Denis Jubile 30 Ans, Burgundy

A floral juice, very fresh, mineral, vibrant and full-bodied, this wine is very fruity and quite deep

This sunny terroir is located just above Clos de Tart and represents a geological symphony. Its soil, strewn with outcrops of rock in places, bears witness to a rare mineral richness. Extremely low in organic matter, this terroir gives the wine an exceptionally deep minerality. Here, the roots of the vines plunge deep into the rocky soil, absorbing the mineral complexity of their environment. The wines from this plot are crystalline, reflecting the influence of the ancient stones in the soil, which impart a distinctive character, exceptional minerality and purity

The 2022 harvest, which began on August 31st, took place under summer temperatures. This year, the growing season was marked by striking climatic contrasts. After a rainy autumn and a frigid December, February and March brought unusually mild weather. The spring, bathed in sunshine and drought, was particularly mild, peaking in May with the highest temperatures in the past fifty years, which encouraged vigorous vine growth. The summer, one of the hottest since 2003, was punctuated by heatwaves in late June, mid-July, and throughout August. Despite the intense heat, the water reserves accumulated over winter ensured a harmonious maturation of the grapes. The 2022 vintage, though shaped by extreme climatic conditions, yields wines of great finesse and remarkable elegance, offering exquisite freshness and generous volume on the palate.
