2019 Ballot-Millot & Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a complex bouquet that blossoms in the glass: mineral-driven citrus fruit, grilled hazelnuts, dandelion and nettle. The aromatics here are very involving and keep dragging you back to the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, exquisite poise and delicate furnishings of stem ginger, lemon rind and crushed stone. It maintains precision through its tensile finish, which contains the sapidity to draw you back for another sip immediately. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
