Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru 2022 Albert Grivault

Professionelle Bewertungen

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Cask sample. Has the density and weight of the Clus du Murger lieu-dit but adds several extra layers of drive, intensity and laser-like acidity on the palate. Very impressive premier cru which delivers exactly what Meursault lovers would look for. Finishes with a stony, mineral line. (AWH)

Grivault's 1.55 hectares of Perrières comes from two parcels next to their monopole Clos des Perrières; there is perhaps just a touch more richness in the wines from the Clos, but this is done in a similar style, which in 2022 produced ripe notes of apricot, apple and quince, with notes of heady white flowers and a bit of reduction. The texture is slightly less dense, but the balance and equilibrium are on par. The winemaking is identical: whole cluster pressed, fermentation in primarily used casks, no sulfur until after malo, and no batonnage — the formula produced a marvellous result.
