Meursault 2019

The king of the cellar is the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières, a striking young wine that unwinds in the glass with scents of citrus oil, white flowers, crisp green apple, clear honey and bread dough, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and incisive, it's tightly wound and electric, the site dominating the vintage more comprehensively than is the case for any other wine in the cellar. (WK, 1/2021)
