Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, 2017
An ever so slightly muted nose, the right side of reduction that serves to keep the wine fresh. There is more expression to the palate, which is fleshy, full of minerals, butter, hazelnut and stone characteristics. A structured, well-rounded and balanced Perrières. From the higher part of the Perrières vineyard, so particularly mineral even for Perrières. Aged in 20% new oak barriques, so there is minimal oak influence on the flavour of this wine.
critic reviews
The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a clean and fresh bouquet with dew dappled green apples, William’s pear and subtle orange blossom aromas. This has plenty of character and intensity. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and fresh, good weight in the mouth with quite a persistent finish. I would just like more mineralité to develop, especially on the final third.
