The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières wafts from the glass with notions of green orchard fruit, dried white flowers, almond paste, honeycomb and light reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, with ripe acids, moderate concentration and a pure, saline finish.

The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres comes from Chanson’s oldest contract dating over 50 years. It has a crisp and defined bouquet and managers to capture that key mineralite you look for in a Perrieres. The palate is taut and slightly spicy on the entry. The acidity is well-judged but it just runs out of puff before the finishing line, which is a little smudged and missing the complexity that the aromatic implied. Drink now-2019.
