Château de Meursault
Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, 2016
justerini & brooks tasting note
Less immediately alluring than the estate’s Meursault Charmes; classically Perrières. Firm and crispy. Gripping flavours of crushed dry stones, minerals and sea salt with zesty notes of lemon rind. Bracing and taut. From two parcels within Perrières Dessus, just above their Bourgogne Terroir d’Exception, and 55-year-old and 45-year-old vines.
critic reviews
90+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Less fruity on the nose than Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception, which is made from vines close to Perrières; more new oak showing here, plus a whiff of caramel. Then plusher and smoother in the mouth, with its sweetness leavened by firm acidity and peachy cut. The persistent finish features penetrating crushed-stone minerality. The estate bottled its top 2016 crus in April of this year.
