Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, 2024
Smells fabulous, a golden melange of oak and stones and taut fruit. On the palate this has intensity, salinity, a sense of energy but also a caressing feel. There’s drive here and a sense of deep minerality, but also lovely tender fruit above. Power plus pleasure. Very good indeed. From the higher part of the Perrieres vineyard, so particularly mineral even for Perrieres. Raised in a combination of demi-muid and barrique, of which just 20% was new oak.
critic reviews
The 2024 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has an outstanding bouquet with crushed limestone filtering through the citrus fruit, very precise and focused. The palate is well balanced with orange rind and light grapefruit notes, good substance, sapid with a long and tender finish. This should age beautifully in bottle.
