Tasting notes
The 2021 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a small reduction on the nose, though it has exquisite delineation with a mote of chalk and wet limestone percolating through the citrus fruit. Good intensity. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine reduction that does not shade the mineralité , tightly coiled on the finish suggesting it will benefit from three or four years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has startling mineralité and tension on the nose - you can really feel the terroir in the glass which sets it apart from the other Meursault Premier Crus. The palate is supremely well balanced with a killer line of acidity, a tiny reduction lending vigour and vitality with so much coiled-up energy on the finish. Stunning.
The 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unwinds in the glass with scents of pear, citrus zest, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and chiseled, with racy acids, chalky dry extract and a long, mineral finish, only three and a half barrels were produced.
