Christophe Perrot-Minot describes 2002 as a very clean harvest requiring no triage and a year that was easy to vinify. It's an archetype in terms of the raw material," he said. The wines were sufficiently rich that some cuvees did not even require pigeage In general, Perrot has been cutting back on extraction during fermentation:in 2001, he reduced the punchdowns significantly, relying more on "soft" pumpovers.With 2002, the cold macerations lasted no more than seven days, shorter than in previous years.All the 2002s were on their lees in November; Perrot planned to rack them only for the bottling. These wines are now among the very best of what I would call modern-style Burgundy. Note that Perrot-Minot uses the designation Vieilles Vignes on the majority of his labels.
