Note di degustazione
(Latour told me this wine and most of his other premier crus weigh in at about 13.5% alcohol and carry about 4.5 grams per liter of acidity, which he attributes largely to the low-yielding old vines): Bright lemon-yellow. Lemon zest and crushed stone on the nose, plus a piquant note of orange. Conveys a brighter, rockier mineral aspect than the Charmes ("another form of minerality," says Latour), along with more tension, and a note of pineapple that remains this side of exotic. This lovely high-pitched, concentrated wine is shockingly tastable now, yet it also possesses the force of the vintage's better examples. Latour noted that this wine finished its malolactic fermentation first among his '16s and that he gave it a slightly stronger fining with casein than the rest.

(aging in two 2014 barrels and one new one): Bright yellow. Ripe pear, peach and minerals on the nose, complicated by hazelnut and oatmeal nuances. Very plush, even glyceral wine with terrific fruit sweetness--although Latour noted that this cuvée finished its alcoholic fermentation drier and earlier than most of his other '16s, by the Hospices de Beaune weekend in mid-November. Seems a bit soft--even exotic--for Perrières, not to mention more evolved than the Genevrières; Latour mentioned that he may bottle it earlier. Takes on a more saline character with aeration, with a touch of citrus zest bitterness giving grip to the finish.
