"Full but fresh yellow with a nobly reductive nose. Very good weight of white fruit with a bit of crunchy apple into the bargain. A touch of heat behind which is soon swallowed up in the weight of the wine. Lovely aftertaste." 

"Unwinding in the glass with scents of crisp green orchard fruit nutmeg Meyer lemon wet stones and light reduction the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied ample and incisive taut and chiseled with a racy spine of acidity and a pungently mineral finish." 

"Whiffs of herbal tea mineral reduction and spice add breadth to the mostly green apple scented nose. Once again there is excellent volume to the intense and overtly mineral-driven flavors that terminate in a strikingly persistent and stylish finish that also makes clear that this beautiful effort needs extended bottle aging." 

"The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru showed quite a heavy reduction on the nose that made it difficult to read. (Winemaker Brian Sieve explained that this has as much to do with the cellar in Meursault vis-à-vis Puligny as with winemaking decisions.) The palate is well balanced with a rounded entry smooth and harmonious offering tropical tones of apricot and nectarine. As with the Porusots I would have liked more mineralité and tension on the finish though there is satisfying length. (Drink between 2023-2038)"
