Tasting notes
Bright, pale yellow. Very ripe aromas of pineapple, crushed stone and more exotic fruits closed down quickly with air. Dense and creamy on entry, with a repeating suggestion of exotic fruits, then tighter and more backward on the very long back end. Still, this seems essentially softer and riper than the Charmes, giving an impression of lower acidity. Colin-Morey blocked the malolactic fermentation in one of the three barrels of this juice.

The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières has a fragrant bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine scents, although I would like to see more mineralité expressed by the time of bottling. The palate is crisp and edgy on the entry. There is very good concentration here, well-judged acidity and it fans out wonderfully on the animated, lingering finish. This has great potential and constitutes one of the best Meursault Perrières that I have encountered this vintage.
Quite reductive on the nose but with great riches on the palate. All in the future here. Dense and tight. Majestic structure, great persistence. (JR)
