2018 Meursault Les Perrieres

The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is another terrific wine from Germain, unwinding in the glass with scents of waxy citrus rind, lemon oil, smoke, hazelnuts, white flowers and struck flint. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, mineral and incisive, with a deep and tight-knit core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. This is the most reserved wine in the cellar and will reward patience, yet as with all these 2018s, it will be more accessible young than usual.
