Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Dec 23
The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a pronounced rose water-tinged bouquet, flattering if just missing a bit of complexity considering the Premier Cru in question. The palate is well-balanced with a pleasant, saline entry, lightly spiced with hints of lemongrass. It's pretty tensile but maybe just missing the weight and concentration of Perrières finest exponents on the finish. Nevertheless, it will still give 15-20 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

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.
