Meursault 1er Cru Perrières 2013

This too flashes a highly discreet and ultra-pure nose that is composed of spiced pear, green apple and acacia blossom. There is impressive richness and intensity to the pear-infused middle weight flavors that seem to be constructed on a base of minerality before culminating in an equally pure and strikingly long finish that is attractively dry, stylish and very classy. This saline-inflected effort is also a textbook example of the appellation and boasts impeccably fine balance.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
