laying-down2021 Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, Pierre Girardin, Burgundy

One of the vineyards successfully saved by intelligent use of bougies. Paler lemon. Some fresh pears in the bouquet. Splendid balance here, with a real refinement. The joy of a decent yield. Freshens up nicely at the finish, and through to a fine long finish. Pears and light mangoes keep coming back, so this Perrières is showing quite an exotic character. Drink from 2026-2032. - Jasper Morris MW
