Tasting Notes

Pungently perfumed scents of flint and oyster-shell minerality: I imagine the Dead Sea would smell like this. Superconcentrated, chewy and thick, but with outstanding inner-mouth tension for such a solid wine. Hints of pineapple and soft citrus fruits are overwhelmed by mineral extract today. With its combination of seamlessness, punch and palate-staining length, this is Meursault Perrières of grand cru class. Finishes very ripe but adamantly dry, with no hard edges--and nearly impossible to spit owing to its tactile dry extract.

Score: 93 - 96

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is touching grand cru quality, an absolute peach of a wine. It has a linear, stony, smoke-tinged bouquet that is the most sophisticated of Mounir's Meursaults. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fresh pear and citrus notes, long and sustained in the mouth with a saline finish that begs another sip. The pedigree of the vineyard is embroidered into this wine and it comes highly recommended, though it will deserve 3-4 years of bottle age.

Score: 93 - 95
