Fine pale colour. This is more reductive than most in the cellar, at the moment. Some ripe pears behind. A little youthful bitterness, perhaps the reduction, but there is good fruit weight and tension. This may well grow from where it is today. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2023.

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.

Note: from a .45 ha parcel. 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.*Burghound Outstanding!*
