2012 Meursault Les Perrieres

The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières has a backward, stony, chalky bouquet, nicely defined, but not open for business at the moment. The palate is fresh on the entry with kiwi fruit, Granny Smith apples and a Chablis-like austerity on the finish. It does not quite articulate the finish with total conviction, but there is a sense of class that will be more expressive with bottle age.
