Tasting notes
This wine opens with an overtly floral and spice-laced bouquet, underpinned by deeper notes of poached plum and black cherry liqueur. On the palate, the medium-bodied flavors are precise, vibrant, and attractively textured, showing fine energy and focus. The finish is long, dusty, and slightly chalky, with youthful austerity and firm tannic structure that suggests excellent aging potential. A wine of fine quality and quiet power, showing both refinement and latent depth.

"The 2020 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with perhaps more mineralité than others. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, light tropical notes with hints of peach and apricot, quite sensual towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. Delicious, but maybe it just needs a little more tension." -Vinous
