Meursault 1er Cru Perrières 2014

- 94 points -

A strikingly well-layered if decidedly restrained nose is composed by cool and gorgeously pure aromas of mineral reduction, acacia blossom, essence of pear and a hint of wood spice. The racy, intense and overtly stony medium weight flavors possess terrific delineation before culminating in a superbly intense and bone dry finish that evidence a touch of youthful austerity. This is a classically styled example that should age brilliantly well and it is going to need it to further develop the overall sense of depth.

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.
