Christophe Perrot-Minot noted that 2010 was his smallest vintage to date, with quantities down an average of 45% from 2009. He normally bottles about 240 barrels of wine, and in 2010 he will offer just 126. As a rule, yields were in the 25 hectoliters-per-hectare range. Perrot-Minot told me he did just one punchdown per day, compared to three a day back in 2000. Like many of his peers who attempted to make an impression with superconcentrated wines in the early stages of their careers, he has cut back dramatically on extraction and relied more on the quality of his fruit. None of the 2010s had been racked at the time of my November visit and all of the wines were still in barrel, except for the Morey-Saint-Denis en la Rue de Vergy. Perrot-Minot was relying on the CO2 gas to protect the freshness and definition of the fruit, which he says works well when the tannins are very fine and the wine is essentially delicate. This looks like a splendid vintage for this estate, almost certainly for drinking after the 2009s, which are more approachable today.
