- Producer Notes
- It is the stony ground to which the vine clings that has given rise to the name of this exceptional "Climat": "Perrières". This Premier Cru has been renowned for its finesse and pureness for many years: in the mid 19th century, the wine maker, M. deVergnette stated in one of his works that "Apart from the true Montrachets, I know of no other white wine so exquisite". Later, Dr. Lavalle mentioned it as "Tête decuvée" in his 1855 rating.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
The 2014 Burgundy got off to a difficult start but still managed to produce a good vintage.
