PNP. Beautiful nose, lemon, flint and spice. Deep and expansive palate, rich and ripe with a mineral driven texture and a juicy, long finish. Abit of heat on the finish. 5th of a 6 pack, these have all been outstanding and are getting better with age. Another success story for the diam cork.

Truly a treat. Expectations can lead to much disappointment, even in ourselves but this bottle is stellar. Fresh in the nose and on the palette, flavours are very integrated. Nothing sticking out. Lemon, kiwi and cold cucumber. Very long finish, lingering still as I write this. It is the outside of my theoretical “serve by date” for the appellation but showing great.
Really good bottle of Meursault Perrieres. One of the best that I've had. This was neck in neck with the 2010 Bouchard CC next to it, although that edged this out. Great acidity and florality. Didn't really show the 14% abv.

Always special opening the last bottle of a case that we bought EP. This has made the journey well, soft buttery still, very much fresh still and has been a guilty pleasure for us for the last 4 years. Still a few years in the tank here too!

2010 #lesperrieres what a stunner a little citrus, blossom, faint hint of spiced oak on the nose that opened up with more white flowers as the evening progressed. Palate had a wonderful depth and body that coated your mouth with citrus, some riper fruits, a tingle of acidity, flowers and a little oak. The finish was long and lingering with a saline edge that was just delicious. 92 points . Drank next to the 2018 #lesclous was young with citrus, oak spiced nose. Palate sat well in mouth but the oak needs just to soften a little in the next few years. It still had a beautiful depth and mouthfeel but will certainly benefit from a few years bottle aging. . Although not the same wines years apart, I would have been a waste drinking my 2018 Perrières too young, this was great to show how age really does matter.

One of 2 bottles of this little guilty pleasure that we found hiding in our cellar. And impressively alive to the point Nicol who had this blond thought it was Assyrtiko. There is but an undertone of butteryness left from the élevage and the rest is a bright and energetic wine , more mineral now than we remeber and just so nice to come across it with a bit of age. No premox shenanigans at all here and a joy of a wine. 91-92

Mid jasmine yellow the aromas are enticing with mineral, baked apple, spiced pear and pepper. The entry is quite mineral with a pear skin texture, fairly generous at 14% but supported by crisp saline-edged acidity. Apples join pears and brine, there is a fleshy texture whilst the long finish does have a feel of heat from the alcohol. Despite this, there is a wonderful depth of flavour, mouth-filling and broad mid-palate with some concentration. Complex with that Meursault power - Clay soils?

Diam for the win, as this is in beautiful, very youthful shape; the nose shows a bit more oak than fruit, though that’s not as much the case on the palate, where the excellent depth of perfectly ripe stone fruit is strong enough to compete with the oak. Has some nice umami saline, good acidity, but would be a notch better without the toasted caramel edge from the wood treatment, and its slightly bitter notes on the finish. I’m not much of believer in the notion of oak “integrating” with age, and I think that’s supported in this 10 year old wine. But I’ll look forward to seeing how it develops over another decade.

Popped and poured, diam cork. Medium yellow color, thankfully no premox. Lemon chiffon, spice, some flinty minerals and orchard fruit on the nose. Deep, rich palate, showing lemon and almond paste. Medium intensity and medium finish. I really like this, it is reasonably chiseled for a 2010, and appears built to last.

A Fish BBQ at The Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Its been 6 months since we crossed paths with this before ( Papies 91) and this remains on point. Soft buttery/oak dynamic on the nose, honey , bright citrus on the follow on the palate. still very lively and energetic and easily have 5 years in the tank. we have had 4 bottles so far of this all very consistent and we plan to age our last 2 for sometime. 91 once again

Tasted blind and have to say an impressive bottle. The nose was textbook burg, buttery, soft oaky chardonnay, citrus, lemons. On the palate it was firm and bright and actually Andreas who tasted it blind went for a 5yr old wine. Still bright and energetic and should this had the textbook flint and lime edge could have been a oaked young Chablis. Impressive and well mannered and a good 91.

probably a little past it.... plenty of rich honey and butter on the palate, a little short. I love Bouchard's whites in general, but they never seem to make a really good Perrieres.

Definitely good to be drinking this wine but still a very solid expression and great value and does not seem to be fading. Consistent (gladly) with a bottle we had about a month ago if not better, good evolution but still bright on the fruit, well assimilated oak, round and very welcoming wine. Solid 90-91

Its time to drink these up albeit the wine is ageing with grace. Still though with freshness gone this is in danger of becoming dull. Int heir youth they are very vibrant and solid but with age they can go a bit one dimensional. Floral edge on the nose, light oaky dynamic, good citrus touches. Well evolve don the palate but lacked a bit of length. Good 90 and drink sooner than later.

Stony, floral honey note light framing of oak charred note. Nice lift. Fairly long. Develops richness and depth in 30 minutes. should uncoil over the next couple years. Great value.

On a root day. Gorgeous 1er Meursault for its' price. Mineral-driven and subtle floral and fruits in aroma. Good precision, balance and complexity in palate. It got a lot of potential to be a much better wine. It's should be kept for 2-3 more years at least.

Really great Meursault. Delicious sweet white flower and honeysuckle nose. Hints of pear and green apple. Very expressive bottle. Rich palate with tons of flavor but light mouth feel. Great balance while not holding back.

Expressive bouquet with smoky oak, caramel, citrus and tropical fruits. Same on the palate. A lot of good minerals, tart citrus and a pleasant touch of sweetness. Extremely young. Complex wine that will improve with cellaring; until 2017 to start with. 92-93

Splash decanted for two hours, followed for next 60 minutes. Citrus, apple, loads of stoney saline minerality with a hint of apricot and a subtle sprinkling of toasty oak spice. Excellent focus and persistence. Slowly opened in the glass and can be enjoyed today with lots of air but clearly there's more to come with cellaring.
