Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres is showing very nicely from bottle, offering up a youthful but already expressive bouquet of citrus oil, pear, blanched almonds, pastry cream and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, it’s elegantly textural, with fine concentration, tangy acids, and a precise, mineral finish. While this Perrieres is already deceptively charming, if it gains in depth and complexity with bottle age as much as I suspect it will, this score may seem conservative.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045

BP&F have 1.2 ha in two plots. One, in Dessous in an old Roman quarry on the border with Puligny, producing wines that Frédéric Weber describes as true Perrières, salty and rich. The other plot is higher, retains more acidity and produces wine close in style to Chevalier-Montrachet. Intense and really big! Green fruit but alcohol evident. Overall demonstrating the concentration of Perrières with, in this case, a hint of almonds.
