Vinous (92)The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet that features lime flower and crushed stone but lacks some intensity compared to its peers. Early picking? The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, with a saline entry and fine acidity. There is a little sharpness toward the citric finish, although there is also satisfying length. Fine and quite elegant. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Vinous (93)The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is slightly honeyed on the nose and lacks the mineralité of the best Perrières. Maybe picked just a little tardy? The palate leans to the richer side compared to other Perrières, though there is sufficient acidity to maintain freshness. Lightly-spiced; ginger and lemongrass emerge towards the finish, that should be tamed by time, so stick it away for a few years. Promising. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95)Two plots in Perrières-Dessous, old vines, which still deliver well. Mulched to avoid ploughing. 30% new wood. Pale colour with a little yellow. While not expressing the detail, the bouquet demonstrates the characteristic and necessary weight of fruit. The body fleshes out further on the palate. This is an excellent example and held up by a very good thread of acidity. There is a fine length of flavour too, very promising. |
