Chiseled and glossy signature of PYCM with the salinity/white florals of Meursault. Hugely concentrated yet weightless at the same time - gave no indications of a ripe year. Drinking really well now.

During the La Paulee in Meursault so only brief impressions. From MAG. Generous palate, cream and oak married with great acidity and lemon zest. Classic.

PNP, but tucked 1/2 of the bottle away to revisit tomorrow. Pale yellow with a slight green tint. This is a wow nose displaying flint, match stick, lemon and white flowers. Deep palate, tons of energy complemented by a slightly creamy, glycerol laden texture that is a joy to savor. Granted this is from a warm year, but for a wine with serious palate presence and texture, this is amazingly chiseled and racy. Impeccable balance. Lingering lemon rind finish and lots of acid. Outstanding.
Update on 8/23. I left this wine in the fridge for 5 days, in a 1/2 bottle sealed with a vacu-vin enclosure. If anything this has stepped up a notch. It resisted oxidation, still displaying a flinty, lemon infused nose and an absolutely rocking palate that is rich yet light on its feet with a ton of energy. Bravo!

Notes on Wines from December 2021 (Wellington, NZ): Fully decanted three hour before serving. Served by me unmasked because someone identified the wine from the capsule. I chose the 2015, rather than the 2014, of this cuvée on the evening because I hoped it would be more open and accessible. A typical PYCM bouquet. Mineral, mealy, flinty, citric, showing lovely white florals. On palate, the 2015 is not far behind the 2014 in quality and cellarworthiness. Dense, concentrated and chewy. That exquisite balance between full, ripe rich fruit and direct, energetic acidity. Superb quality. Ideally though hold until at least 2023. Scored partly based on potential, 95+.

From mag. Decanted for two hours, then back in the bottle for lunch an hour later. Like previous bottles, this drank beautifully and elicited lots of positive comments. PYCM did very well indeed with Perrieres in 2015.

Dang this vineyard is just tasty. Up front a touch of that PYCM reduction but blew off with air. On the nose it was lovely - pear, green apples, and as it warmed up, peach, lychee, and a hint of cinnamon. Lush, ripe, but not heavy. Well balanced with plenty of acidity. Coats the palate, and lingers. Only issue was a bit of heat on the finish. Overall an excellent wine.

The Meursault Perrieres is one of my favourite wines from PYCM. The 2015 PYCM Meursault Perrieres is showing gorgeously today. Tasted blind – A pure array of white orchard fruits, crystalline minerals, and reductive struck match nose. Full bodied with expressive fruits and bright acidity. Excellent winemaking. (91/100)

A beautiful nose of ripe peach and melon, hazelnut cream, flint and spice. It is dense and compact in the mouth, with a brilliant line of minerally acidity and great texture. It finishes with chalky cut and has superb drive and length. Still extremely youthful.

From magnum. I've had this twice now, and both times I really liked it. It's youthful, but fully expressive. I will continue to drink these as the 2014's mature. Really lovely juice.

Gouden Kalf @ Den Haag: Expressive, silky and concentrated, underpined with brigth citrus, stony acidity which balances out its voluminousness. Less terroir-driven but totally delicious!

Leiden in Scheveningen’s Gouden Kalf: Mineral, citric nose, very deep, a bit salty. Later on more stone fruit. Taste lots of concentration, at first a bit tight showing mostly minerals, in time it opens up showing multi-dimensional tones. Very fresh and clear wine, typical perrieres.

A trio of 2015 PYCM - Perrieres, Batard, Chevalier. (Bellecour, Wayzata MN): A delightful trio of 2015 PYCM. All decanted for four hours, then re-bottled to bring next door to dinner. The Perrieres stole my heart, and was the most accessible of the three. It drank well without apologies, notwithstanding some comments on the "15" vintage expression. On first sip upon opening, it was all citrus and less intensity. But with the air time we gave it - four hours in the decanter and two hours in the glass - this delivered a classic young expression of Perrieres, with all the precision, minerality, and energy to fully harness the fruit. A lovely bottle, and one we'll contrast with the 2014 very soon in a side by side. Can't wait for that.

Pale straw. Nose is really engaging - hazelnuts, cashew, stone fruits, florals. Opens out more with time in the glass. The palate shows width and restraint together. There's a depth here, and some creaminess but it's balanced by a touch of wet stone on the finish. Acids are not prominent. It's lovely right now.

Pycm classique, on sent une belle cuvée, mais la patte du vigneron etouffe un peu le terroir.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Very big and bold fruit, wonderfully offset with equivalent structural elements. Apple, peach, hazelnut and sweet spice. Very good depth and concentration. Also very good now with upside.
