Les Perrières, one of Meursault's most celebrated Premier Cru sites, sits on limestone-rich soils that produce wines of remarkable richness and mineral definition. Étienne de Montille's biodynamic vineyard management practices have intensified the expression of terroir—focusing the fruit and mineral character that emerges from this legendary parcel. This 2019, at five years old, displays the signature richness and minerality of Meursault at its finest: citrus, white stone fruit, and subtle hazelnut with a mineral backbone that reflects the site's limestone geology. The wine's bright acidity balances the richness, creating a wine of remarkable elegance and refinement. Drinking beautifully now with food, this wine will develop and refine for another 10-12 years as secondary complexities emerge.

"Whiffs of herbal tea, mineral reduction and spice add breadth to the mostly green apple scented nose. Once again there is excellent volume to the intense and overtly mineral-driven flavors that terminate in a strikingly persistent and stylish finish that also makes clear that this beautiful effort needs extended bottle aging."

Antonio Galloni

AG 92

"The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru showed quite a heavy reduction on the nose that made it difficult to read. (Winemaker Brian Sieve explained that this has as much to do with the cellar in Meursault vis-à-vis Puligny as with winemaking decisions.) The palate is well balanced with a rounded entry, smooth and harmonious, offering tropical tones of apricot and nectarine. As with the Porusots, I would have liked more mineralité and tension on the finish, though there is satisfying length." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93

"Unwinding in the glass with scents of crisp green orchard fruit, nutmeg, Meyer lemon, wet stones and light reduction, the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, taut and chiseled, with a racy spine of acidity and a pungently mineral finish." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 95

"This site at the top of the Perrières slope does well in a hot year such as 2019. The wine is vinified with its lees in large and small casks, where it spends a year before being racked into tank. The result is a wine of superb precision and laser-bright lemony fruit, with an edge of mineral. The texture is lively, but there is enough heft to balance the freshness, leading to an elegant finish."
