BURGHOUND 91 - 93 POINTS - " A cool, pure and elegant nose exhibits aromas of black cherry, poached plum and a variety of spice elements that are trimmed in wisps of wood and warm earth. The sleek, intense and very punchy medium weight flavors flash evident minerality on the focused and solidly powerful finish that is also shaped by firm by fine-grained tannins. This is robust and serious but not rustic and should age accordingly. Worth checking out."
WINE ADVOCATE 90 - 92 POINTS - " The most reserved of Perrot-Minot's communal appellations is the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Murgers des Cras, a blend of declassified premiers crus. Unwinding in the glass with notions of cassis, orange rind, peonies and smoky berry fruit, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and tightly wound, with lively acids and powdery tannins. The darling of the Francophone wine press, Christophe Perrot-Minot, continues his evolution in the direction of textural finesse and aromatic range: the extraction and richness of yesteryear have given way to melting tannins and ethereal aromas, exemplified by a beautiful set of 2019s. In recent vintages, despite that turn toward elegance, I had found the sheer sweetness of Perrot-Minot's wines a little overwhelming: his concentrated yet supple 2016s were, I felt, encumbered by fruit of almost confectionery sweetness despite their undeniable vivacity. These 2019s, tasted from barrel, unracked, were just as polished but more sapid and savory, and I eagerly look forward to revisiting them from bottle. As readers may know, Perrot-Minot now farms organically and is currently seeking certification. Barrels are mostly sourced from François Frères and the forest of Jupilles, he tells me, and a maximum of 30% new are employed."
