A distinctly lactic and leesy nose precedes beautifully balanced harmonious and chiseled indeed even crystalline middle weight flavors that possess outstanding length and remarkable tension on the seriously mineral-driven finish. This isn't quite as complex as the Genevrières but it's finer and the class of a fine Perrières is clearly on display. A qualitative choice. Sweet spot-Outstanding.

The 2009 Meursault Perrieres is a gorgeous finely-cut wine endowed with superb purity and delineation in a translucent expression of fruit. White peaches pears mint and wild flowers are some of the notes that wrap around the intense mineral-laced finish. The Perrieres is generous fleshy but also quite energetic. This is all polish and refinement. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
