Jasper Morris of Inside Burgundy rates this wine highly, giving it a score of 97 points. He describes it with enthusiasm: “Clear mid yellow colour. The bouquet has some restraint but there is no denying the volume of Perrières. On the palate, a huge mouthful of pure white fruit, ripe apples more than pears, but with a mineral thread which retains the class. For once, I think this is even more exciting than the Genevrières. Superb fresh acidity at the perfect level completes the job. A brilliant wine with exceptional personality. The flavour stays with me….” Morris's review highlights the wine’s purity, freshness, and exceptional balance, marking it as a standout in its category.
Burghound also offers a glowing review, assigning it a score of 94 points. The review notes, “Here there are no reductive notes to the aromas of mineral reduction, anise, green apple and plenty of floral elements that are complemented by the refined and pure medium weight flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel while displaying evident minerality on the hugely long finish that is shaped by bright citrus-tinged acidity. This beauty of a Perrières is presently very compact and clearly in need of an extended stay in a cool cellar. This is also one to buy, at least provided you intend to cellar it for at least 5 to 7 years first.” This review emphasizes the wine’s strong mineral character, vibrant acidity, and potential for aging, suggesting that it will evolve beautifully over time.
Both reviews highlight the 2022 Latour Giraud Meursault Perrieres as a wine of exceptional quality, with a strong mineral backbone, fresh acidity, and a complex aroma profile featuring green apple, floral elements, and hints of anise. For those patient enough to cellar it, this wine promises to reward with increased complexity and depth.
