Tasting notes
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières exhibits notes of crisp orchard, citrus zest, freshly baked bread, toasted almonds and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, it's a tightly wound, electric wine despite the warm, generous vintage. At this early stage, this is even more impressive than Pierre-Yves Colin's Chassagne Caillerets—something that isn't invariably the case.

Fermented in 350-litre oak. Lower reaches of the vineyard. Barrel sample. Strong mineral overlay to the fruit here. Dusty and chalky like stone dust, gently herbal. Then an assault of fruit on the palate. Intense citrus, almost apricot. Smash and grab in its intensity. And long. Hard to move on from here. (JH)
