Tasting notes
Pure aromas of orange, iodine and crushed stone. Juicy, pure and aromatic in the mouth, with subtle notes of apple, pear and quinine. A very dense, smooth, elegant wine with plenty of intensity, as well as the structure to age.

Harvested at 14% natural potential alcohol, the 2002 Meursault Perrieres reveals a creamed hazelnut laden nose. Medium-bodied, broad, rich, and plush, this is a fat, velvety-textured wine packed with creamy pears and spices. It should be drunk over the next 3-5 years.
