justerini & brooks tasting note

Proudly exhibiting its origins, this is all stones and minerals, combined with the alluring juiciness that is such a feature of this vintage – what a combination. Free flowing crushed stone and rocky salt character bristle through the Sicilian lemon and stone fruit, adding a nice bite and snap to the wine. A cracker. This hails from a plot of 40 year old vines between Albert Grivault's Clos des Perrieres and Perrieres itself. A premier cru site if ever you saw one but for the fact that it was a quarry up until 1977, which has meant that it was never classed as such. Aged in 30% new oak.

critic reviews

89-91/100Neal Martin,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2015 Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception has an attractive bouquet with scents of apple blossom, cold stone and a subtle, almost Muscat-like scent that lends complexity. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity. I like the energy here, but most of all the unexpected salinity on the finish that urges you back for another sip. Considering this a mere white Burgundy, at least in legal terms, is it exceptionally fine.
