Joseph Drouhin Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru (750ML)
From Meursault
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 93 Jm / 92 Bh / 90-92 Wa / 90-92 Vm. Faint lemon colour. The nose is discreet but classy and indicates weight to come, exotic without being over-ripe, excellent mid palate concentration, very good acid balance and extremely persistent. Lemon fruit notes throughout, not the weightiest example of Perrières but very fine nonetheless. Tasted: October 2017-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Tasting note: An elegant and spicy nose reflects notes of mineral reduction, essence of pear and acacia along with wisps of smoke and pain grillĂ©. Here too there is excellent volume and intensity to the even more mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a gorgeously long if youthfully austere finale. Some patience would be beneficial. Outstanding.-Allen Meadows, Burghound. The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres has a strict, wet stone and smoke-tinged bouquet that is very well defined, almost Puligny-like in style. The palate is well balanced with a slightly waxy texture, spicy and a little angular at the moment even though it seems to meld together toward the finish. Give this 3 or 4 years in bottle before broaching, because it seems very "distant" at the moment.-Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate.
