An even more floral-suffused, cool and wonderfully elegant nose speaks mostly of rose petal, acacia blossom, carnation, fennel and hints of poached pear and mineral reduction. The unusually rich and quite generous flavors aren't any finer but they are slightly denser while still retaining a beautifully refined, even seductive, mouthfeel, all wrapped in a pungently stony, youthfully austere and impressively long finish. This is quite classy and a wine that should amply repay extended keeping. Drink 2035+. Don't miss! Outstanding.
Even the 2023 Meursault “Perrières” was already racked at the time of my visit and was resting comfortably in tank. I assume that it was also racked in December, as it was still showing superbly well, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of pear, golden delicious apples, hazelnuts, a very complex foundation of stony minerality, fruit blossoms, geranium and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and not surprisingly, shows the finest depth at the core of any of these lovely premier crus, with great mineral drive and cut, impeccable balance and superb backend energy and lift on the focused, complex and very refined finish. (Drink between 2030-2060)
