Note di degustazione
The 2020 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose. It's well-defined, slightly more malic than its peers, with a deft touch of spice that emerges with aeration. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry; maybe the pH here is a little higher than others. As such, it just lacks its peers' persistence and mineralité on the finish. That said, re-tasting this wine over again, it coheres and belatedly unveils that terroir expression, prompting me to raise my score. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières derives from similarly prime holdings, located just before the Clos des Perrières of Grivault. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, green apple, freshly baked bread, Meyer lemon and oyster shell, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and sensual, with a satiny attack that leads into a rich, layered mid-palate. Given the location of the plot, it's not surprising that this is a broader, more "grand cru" interpretation of Perrières in contrast to some of the climat's more chiseled renditions.
