Tasting notes
The 2007 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is a supremely gifted wine. It exudes life-affirming mineralité on a nose of powdered limestone mixed with hazelnut and a subtle fumé tincture. As I discerned before, there is a Puligny-like tension to this Perrières, and it has retained its pithy, weighty and satisfying finish. It is drinking beautifully now, but it unequivocally has a long life ahead of it. Tasted at a private dinner in Burgundy.

The 2007 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is still several years away from its peak, but it is beginning to drink beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp green apple, toasted sesame, white flowers and crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tensile, it's intense and concentrated, with a racy spine of acidity and a penetrating, mineral finish.
Now this has real class and density on the nose. Reserved on the nose but great weight on the palate. Can really see why this should be grand cru. Masses of acid integrated into citrus fruit. (JR)
