Tasting notes
The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is built to age, unwinding slowly in the glass with textbook scents of lemon oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's tensile, electric but youthfully introverted, with immense promise for the future but little in the way of immediate gratification. This is a cuvée that needs a minimum of a decade to show its cards in most vintages, and that's certainly the case for the 2017.

The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well defined bouquet, perhaps needing a little more mineralité to come through, but it opens with aeration to reveal lovely hazelnut and granite aromas. The palate is extremely well balanced with a fine line of acidity, spine-tingling tension and here the terroir really shines through. There is impressive sustain here, one of the best Perrières of the 2017 vintage.
