This wine is really starting to get to a nice place! Already ready to drink, however, still some years away from its peak. It clearly lives up to the expectations and I agree with Allen Meadows that this is a 94 point wine and its peak might start at 2026.
The wine is incredibly concentrated with a fine spine of acidity - it does not seem heavy at all, just pure elegance! In that sense it is a textbook Meursault Perrières. However, it should be noted, that is clearly shows the style of the vintage, as mineral flavours are in the background (at least at the moment). Otherwise this is a perfect Burgundy...white and yellow orchard aromas with layers and layers of complexity that still require some time to unpack; perfectly integrated oak flavours which are also very complex and just need some time to integrate even more and a touch of sweetness that hints at a future where this might somewhat smell and taste like an old Chablis (with oak) with ripe developed fruit, honey, spices, almonds, nuts and hay in the future.
I absolutely love Meursault Perrières, since it is my favourite vineyards of the Côte de Beaune and if you don't mind a fruitier style, this is an amazing wine for you! And I suppose, the older it gets, the style of the vintage will show less and less and this will get much more "terroir-driven" and even better.
An excellent wine from an excellent domaine!

New Years with the Ks and Browns: Served next to the Dujac Monts Luisant this clearly had another level; the nose was riper with fresh orchard fruits, loads of minerality, hint of lemon zest; the palate was very powerful and full throttle with ripe fruit and minerality in spades. Super long and a great finish. I love Perrieres.

Henri Boillot Sydney Dinner (St Claudes, Oxford Street, Sydney): Rich, savoury, slight struck match, a little lemon citrus and stone fruit. Aromas grow in intensity with time in the glass. Juicy, citrus and stone fruit, spiced. Big mouthfeel, savoury but still retaining that richness. Yum. With time a little tannic burr

PNP. Beautiful nose, flint, lemon and anise. Deep palate, high glycerol with a lovely texture that was deep yet lively and citrus infused. Excellent.

Rich, buttery notes. A pretty big Meursault but for me not too balanced and I would prefer a little more acidity
