The 2010 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is one of Dominique Lafon's finest offerings from this noble vineyard in recent years, echoing Stephen Tanzer's finding from his vertical in 2019. It has an electrifying bouquet with such intense mineralité that it threatens to overwhelm the senses. The palate is beautifully balanced with a killer line of acidity, just a twist of bitter lemon lending tension, and a judicious touch of creaminess on the detailed finish. Ludicrously brilliant. -- Neal Martin

An elegant, pure, cool and dazzlingly complex nose is comprised of white rose, acacia blossom, lemon zest and plenty of mineral reduction character. There is outstanding precision and almost painful intensity to the tautly muscular flavors that positively vibrate with underlying tension before culminating in a hugely long finish where a touch of wood is also in evidence. As the best examples of Perrières always are, this is a perfect blend of power and finesse. Lafon has made many a fine example of this wine and the 2010 version will only add to that legacy.
