ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The origins of the area back to the middle of the XIX ^th century, but Amedee Merme will seek to expand and structure the vineyard at the beginning of XX ^th century. Accompanied by his son Armand, they will seek to ensure the reputation of the estate in France and beyond by producing quality wines.

In the 1970s, Marie ‑ France Merme continued the work of her father Armand with her husband Henri Perrot-Minot. After Armand's death, Marie-France and Henri will take over the reins of the estate, which takes the name Perrot-Minot. Together, they carry on the tradition of quality and innovation that already prevailed in the two previous generations.

It was in 1993 that their son Christophe Perrot-Minot joined the estate and took over the management, after having worked as a wine broker for seven years. His previous experiences will have given him a deep and broad knowledge of the profession of winegrower.

Today, the estate represents 13 hectares of vines spread over the largest terroirs of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
