Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, 2018
Structured, almost tannic, powerfully mineral and salty. Loads of extract but without any excess fat. Intense, high definition flavours cut through the palate with touches of roasted hazelnut adding some richness. Crisp and stony. 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 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru It has an intense bouquet – like other Meursaults from de Montille, carrying a little reduction, but with more crushed stone, mineralité and white flower scents than the Les Porusots. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, tension and vigor, offering citrus lemon and orange pith mixed with hazelnut toward the sustained finish. Excellent.
