Meursault Perrières Premier Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Perrières, named in reference to the stony "mother rock" lying very near the surface, produces wines which are among the most highly sought-after of all Burgundy whites. This terroir is situated just below the crest of the slope and South of the village in the direction of Puligny. The soils consist of light clay and fractured limestone, with ideal Southeast exposure. This is the most structured wine of all the Meursault Premier Crus.

Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This white maintains a coiled tension and powerful bold structure. Complex aromas of white flowers, citrus skin, and wet stony earth broaden into ripe apple-peach flavors supported by tangy acidity.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
