The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is very much in the classic style of the domaine, opening in the glass with a bouquet of lemon zest, pear, white flowers, sesame and a generous framing of oak vanillin. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, saline and edgy, with taut acids, a vertical mid-palate and a searing, stony finish. Though this did fill out with several hours in the glass, it isn’t the most ample or ripe rendition of this bottling; but I’d describe it as lithe rather than lean, and I fully expect it to improve for a decade or more.
