Tasting notes
Good medium yellow. Sexy scents of pineapple, ripe peach and musky crushed rock. Stricter on the palate than the Genevrières, conveying terrific cut and mineral energy to its stone fruit and pineapple flavors. Classic Perrières wet-stone character. This seamless wine finishes bright, pure and very long, without any phenolic roughness. But it will need time in bottle to deepen and gain in dimension.

Pale, bright yellow. Knockout nose combines pineapple, crushed stone and flowers. Sappy, chewy and saline in the mouth but also with a strong element of sucrosité to its flavor of liquid stone. A triumph of terroir over vintage, this silky Perrières boasts a slowly building, very long, perfumed finish.
