May 13, 2021 - not past peak. medium- aroma intensity with mineral and stone fruits flavor. linear palate but still can feel the oily texture, not as complex as a 1er cru les Perrières should be.

May 13, 2021 - Darker in color, but not past peak. Good richness that speaks Perrieres, not quite honeyed, fairly dense. 91-92

February 9, 2019 - Light brown in color. Aromas of pear, sherry, vanilla bean and nut skins. Ripe nicely balanced oxidized fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. Complex and very persistent on the palate. This bottle, rejected from my auction lot at HDH due to its color, actually improved with aeration and was delicious with Cadence Restaurant's outstanding smoked trout and everything spaetzel with nduja small plates.

10/1/2006 (link)(Leroy (Maison) Meursault Perrières) Golden. A honied nose - very Meusault, but less-so Perrières - wide with a peach-stone core. Surprisingly sweet with good fat and intensity. The acidity is good but very well covered. This is not the best Perrières I’ve tasted, it is a good but not a great one. As far as the value is concerned, however, this is by far the most interesting of this flight of wines.
