2006 Meursault Les Perrieres

Tasting notes
The 2006 has a bold, extravagant bouquet with dried honey, patisserie and vanilla scents that miss the delineation and precision of the 2007. The palate is nicely balanced and very pure – hints of lemon curd and crushed stone, although it is missing a little depth and persistency towards the finish. I would actually cellar this Meursault for another couple of years to see if it can muster something more. Here, it is overshadowed by the following vintage. Drink 2014-2018. Tasted December 2012.

Quite concentrated and serious with real depths of vegetation and fine leafy aromas to it. Big and very concentrated – I poured it down my windpipe I was so enthusiastic – with massive palate impact, All tasters could understand this because it’s so big, but it’s well corseted and tight. (JR)
