Description
When Meursault was good in 2016, it was frequently excellent, and sometimes there was quite a bit of it. This is a youthful, assertively oaked Premier Cru that’s just beginning to get into its stride, with lemon butter notes complemented by vivacious acidity and chalky precision. 2020-28
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.
