Meursault Perrieres, Bouchard Père et Fils 2010

By contrast to the Genevrières, the 2010 Perrières is a knockout with its superbly elegant nose that offers the hallmark mineral reduction and pure floral and white-fleshed fruit aromas that are very much in keeping with the refined flavors that seem constructed directly from the essence of stone. There is plenty of dry extract that imparts a textured feel to the mid-palate, all wrapped in a strikingly long finish that delivers outstanding length. In a word, terrific.
