Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is showing well, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, crisp yellow orchard fruit, pastry cream and toasted sesame, subtly framed by a deft application of new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a delicately textural attack, good depth and concentration at the core and a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a nicely defined finish. This isn't as powerful or muscular as Coche's 2013 Corton-Charlemagne, but alongside that wine it ranks, unsurprisingly, as one of the two high points in this comparatively challenging white Burgundy vintage. While the 2013 Perrières is somewhat approachable today, it is still several years away from its peak.
