  September 9, 2022 - Really good considering the vintage. I mourn the day this Domaine broke up because the wines don’t capture the brilliance anymore as they once did. Considering the warmer year this barely showed any resemblance to that. This was tight almost a bit lean, none of the flab that comes with this vintage for all but the best producers and this is one of the best. This doesn’t mean that Louis Carillon gets off Scott free though. I think they’ve picked a bit earlier to try and minimise the phenolic character so the flavours are very subtle but in a way this is a stroke of brilliance. The drinkability is key as whilst it’s not the most complex Perrieres it’s a great effort. I’d love to know if they were one of the first Domaines to harvest in this vintage as I suspect they were and usually are. This is one of the all time greats of Burgundy and the last vintage as Louis Carillon. Highly recommend seeking out anything with bottle age from this Domaine as they age like great Chablis.
