Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières derives from a parcel situated next to Grivault's Clos des Perrières. Unwinding in the glass with scents of musky peach, white flowers, fresh pear and nutmeg, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with fine tension at the core, racy acids and a long, mineral finish.

The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru presents a light apple blossom, crushed rock and jasmine nose, quintessentially Perrières in style. The palate has a candied opening with orange zest and a touch of peach. Pretty and vibrant, although it does not possess the tension of Comtes-Lafon’s Perrières that preceded it. Drink over the next 12–14 years. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Tank sample. Super-inviting aroma of citrus fruit and something between rocks and spice that is zesty and fragrant. Impressive concentration on the palate. This has depth but a very precise, clean-cut profile on the palate, with really good length. (JH)

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
