Perrot-Minot – Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru

The Grands Crus of Charmes-Chambertin are iconic Pinot Noir wines; powerful, virile, complex and intense. They demand equally complex, high toned dishes to keep the pairing in balance. Feathered game (grilled or, better still, in wine sauce) will, of course, be a worthy companion. The power of the wine’s tannins will withstand the shock of contrasting textures while its aromatic complexity and above all its opulence will bring out the differences.

Roast lamb in gravy, chicken in red wine sauce, glazed poultry, and rib steak will also benefit from the match, not forgetting soft-centred cheeses which will get strong support from the wine’s power and aromatic persistence.

Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C for young wines,14 to 16°C for older wines.
