Estimate
...aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, crushed chalk and fresh pastry that only hint of the complexity to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with an exquisitely satiny attack, a deep and multidimensional core and considerable concentration underpinned by incisive acids. Concluding with a long, penetrating and searingly chalky finish, this Perrières is a brilliant achievement.
Stony/chalky on the nose, much less opulent on the nose then the Clos des Bouchères. Flinty and smoky. On the palate, an acid tension, almost a sour-spicy grapefruit, and a steely core with lovely alignment. Goes on for ever. Utterly precise and tightly structured but no lack of fruit. Perfect balance.
