Tasting notes
Cask sample. This is both more stony and more intensely citrus than the Genevrières. Mouth-watering from the start, long and moderately concentrated with an attractively chalky texture on the finish. (JH)

Bright and tensile, Bouchard's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières offers up aromas of pear and green apple mingled with hazelnuts, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's racy and electric, concluding with a saline finish.
What a fascinating and almost totally mineral wine this is! So cool and restrained for the hot year with a dangerous freshness. Lots of wild herb and wild flower character, too. Staggering finish in which ripeness and mineral energy are almost perfectly intertwined. From two plots with very rocky limestone soil.
