Among the Meursault Premiers Crus, some stand above the pack: Les Charmes, Les Genevrières, and, of course, Les Perrières.
Widely regarded as Meursault's most sought-after climat, Les Perrières is regularly considered a natural candidate for possible promotion to Grand Cru status.
The name Perrière refers to stone quarries, an appropriate reflection of the vineyard's distinctive mineral character.
Its remarkable minerality sets it apart from other Meursault Premier Crus, bringing it stylistically closer to the great white wines of Puligny-Montrachet.
2012 Vintage, 93 Points | Jancis Robinson: Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières from Domaine du Montille has a quintessential Perrières nose: cold wet stone, more tertiary than its peers, touches of walnut and smoke coming through with aeration. The palate is fresh and vibrant, citrus peel and orange rind on the entry, very good depth and gently fanning out towards the long finish. This is primal, backward and broody but I can envisage this ageing with real style and verve.
2022 Vintage, 92–94 Points | Vinous Media: The 2022 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru retains mineralité and tension on the nose with a very slight reduction. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity and more mineralité compared to other Perrières I have tasted. Elegant and quite persistent on the finish. Excellent.
91–93 Points | Burghound: Pungent aromas of leesy reduction and wood render the nose tough to evaluate. By contrast, there is both excellent density and intensity to the well-detailed middleweight flavors that exude a prominent stoniness on the youthfully austere and more tightly wound finale. This is awkward but it seems promising nonetheless and my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt.
An exceptional three-vintage exploration of one of Meursault's most distinguished vineyards.
