**Note: from two different parcels, a large one with 45+ year old vines that is only 50 yards from Genevrières and a second, smaller one with 15+ year old vines just above Charmes**
Initially there is a trace of reduction present though aggressive swirling is able to liberate a strikingly elegant, airy and cool nose of wisps of white flowers, lemon rind, mineral reduction, green apple and spiced pear. The sleek, pure and stony medium weight flavors exude a palpable underlying tension before culminating in a vibrant, driving, intense and impeccably well-balanced finish that goes on and on. This is textbook Perrières where the very dry and chiseled flavors seem to be formed from essence of stone. As is often the case, this is indisputably very classy juice.
