December 16, 2023 - At Harvey's, Fortitude Valley. This is a truly beautiful bottle of Perrieres that is many ways reference standard. The colour was properly pale green gold with a forthcoming nose of white peaches, lemon and lime zest with touches of nuts, honey and oatmeal. The palate is richly flavoured yet nicely austere on the finish with a fine minerality and terrific drive from beginning to end. While there lovely touches of honey and oatmeal there is plenty of room for further maturity here but ultimately it is simply lovely now.

January 26, 2022 - Superb showing and totally surprising for 2009. Really beautiful fruit, great complexity, classic Perrieres profile. Ready to go but should hold for years.

July 9, 2020 - Is it just the vintage that accounts for the disappointing showing of what should be a fabulous mature Meursault from a great producer? Or has Dominique Lafon changed his vinification since then to produce the wonderful wines from recent vintages? Consistent with the previous bottle it’s broad, obvious and concentrated yet lacks the precision and cut of better examples. Worse yet, it is so, so simple. Compared with the dazzling 2014 for example, the weakness is obvious.
