Bouchard Pere et Fils, Meursault 1er Cru "Perrieres", Domaine 2022	98-99 James Suckling What a fascinating and almost totally mineral wine this is! So cool and restrained for the hot year with a dangerous freshness. Lots of wild herb and wild flower character, too. Staggering finish in which ripeness and mineral energy are almost perfectly intertwined. From two plots with very rocky limestone soil. 96 Decanter The notes of lemon zest, aromas of apricot and white flowers, and the salty mineral edge give complexity to this beautiful expression of Perrières. The wine is concentrated and substantial on the palate, but it has the acidity to ensure it never loses its balance. The grapes are from two parcels – one in Dessus, on the border with Puligny, the other in Dessous, touching the Clos des Perrières. The old Roman quarries bring the minerality that sets this wine apart. The grapes were picked on 1 September, the same day as the Montrachet.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
