Note di degustazione
Orange blossom and almond flower on the inviting nose. Large-scaled, plush and sweet, with an almost exotic quality to its soft citrus fruits. Really clamps down on the palate on the back half, with penetrating rocky, iodiney minerality providing great detail and class. A palate-saturating wine of great solidity, finishing firm-edged with a suggestion of baked bread. This shut down dramatically in the glass.

The 2010 Meursault Perrières emerges from the glass with flint, crushed rocks, pears and smoke. This is pure Perrières from its cool, inwardness all the way through to the long, crystalline finish. Everything simply comes together in the glass. The 2010 Perrières is a wine to savor over what will hopefully be a long life. Today, it is a bit restrained. The only thing missing is time.

Anticipated maturity: 2014. Proprietor Mounir Saouma thinks 2010 is a great vintage and therefore he wanted to push the boundaries as far as possible by slowing down the maturation of the wines. He kept temperatures very low in the cellar to encourage slow, long malolactic fermentations and long elevage in barrel. Among the unusual practices Saouma adopted with the 2010s is stirring the lees a full year after the harvest. At the time of my visit, in July 2012, none of the 2010 whites had been bottled, the only estate in Burgundy I know of that had still not bottled their 2010s. The wines Le Moine 2010s are big, rich and powerful. In many cases, the 2010s appear to have structures that are in the realm of reds. A number of the wines also show slight elements of botrytis that will become more pronounced over time. In addition to these wines, I also tasted the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot, which was too closed to properly evaluate. Importer: Vintus, Pleasantville, NY; tel. (919) 769-3000
