Perrot-Minot is a Gevrey-Chambertin domaine that emerged as a significant Burgundy producer following Henri Perrot-Minot's departure from his father's estate in the 1990s and expansion of holdings through well-timed purchases. The domaine farms approximately 11 hectares including grand cru parcels in Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin, and Clos de Vougeot, premier cru Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau, and various village Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey. The Vieilles Vignes cuvées — produced from the estate's oldest vine blocks across appellations — are the primary auction lots and most celebrated expressions of the house. At auction, 112 lots average $201 per bottle, reflecting a portfolio anchored by serious premier cru and grand cru wines from Chambolle and Gevrey that attract a growing international collector audience. Critical reception is strong: the 2005, 2010, and 2015 Chambertin and Mazoyères earned 95–98 points from Allen Meadows and Wine Advocate, driving secondary-market premiums. Henri Perrot-Minot practices low yields, significant whole-cluster fermentation (40–60% depending on the vintage), and aging in predominantly new French oak for the grand cru tier — an approach emphasizing density and concentration over classic Burgundian fragility. The domaine has become a significant collector target since the mid-2000s, with allocation increasingly difficult. The 2016 MX To Kalon earned 98 points from Wine Advocate, placing it alongside other top To Kalon expressions from Schrader and Realm in that benchmark vintage and confirming the estate's place among the vineyard's finest producers.
