RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Smoke and oak spice aromas introduce this elegant white. Lime, spring blossom and peach flavors take over as this glides to a long, mineral-filled finish.

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Sappy entry of citrus peel and stone. Savory and classically dry in the middle palate, coating the entire mouth with dusty stone. A compellingly tactile wine whose ripe fruit prevents it from coming off as hard.

...textured, racy, intense and vibrant medium full flavors that positively ooze a fine minerality on the driving and wonderfully detailed finish. This is a classic Perrières...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault, Les Perrieres

Les Perrieres is 34-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Meursault, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. The vineyard includes several sub parcels. They are the 2.4-acre monopole Clos des Perrieres, which belongs to Domaine Albert Grivault, and Les Perrieres Dessous. Because Les Perrieres is in southern Meursault next to Puligny, the Les Perrieres Meursaults are considered to have more minerality than other Meursaults. Burgundy writer Clive Coates has noted that “Perrieres is perhaps the most elegant and persistent of the premier crus. At its best, it is positively brilliant…” Since Meursault lacks a Grand Cru, Meursault’s reputation for excellence is based on the Premier Crus, particularly the whites.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
