Tasting notes
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières unfurls in the glass with notes of citrus oil, white flowers, crisp Anjou pear and wet stones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and chiseled, with fine concentration and a long, precise finish. Along with the Caillerets, this is the most tensile of de Monteille's white premiers crus.

The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru It has an intense bouquet – like other Meursaults from de Montille, carrying a little reduction, but with more crushed stone, mineralité and white flower scents than the Les Porusots. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, tension and vigor, offering citrus lemon and orange pith mixed with hazelnut toward the sustained finish. Excellent.
