The 2020 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru is well-defined with attractive hazelnut and walnut scents combining with the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with ample weight, hints of almond and white peach towards the finish. This is a very elegant and classy Meursault from Grivault.

The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Perrieres, which was replanted in 1986 and 1989 and occupies two geological formations (Bathonian and colluvial deposits) has a wonderful, elegant bouquet cut from the same cloth as the Perrieres but demonstrating a little more intensity, most likely because the terroir has more clay than Les Perrieres (40% compared to around 30-32%.) It already offers hints of limestone and apricot blossom with citrus hints of lemon. The palate is more open that the bouquet with ample citrus fruit, a roundness and fullness on the palate with hints of marmalade and orange sorbet on the finish. This is just delicious. Domaine Albert Grivault looks over the central square, the heart of the village of Meursault, though the signage is discrete, unlike others. Upon ringing the bell, I am greeted by Michel Bardet, the grandson of Albert Grivault, who many years ago established a distillery in Beziers and with the profits acquired a few vines including one-hectare Clos des Perrieres, located in the heart of the climat at the tender age of just 23 in the year of 1879, just after phylloxera had bedeviled the vineyards. Apart from his business acumen, Albert was also a renowned taster with one of the sharpest palates in the area. Michel himself escorted me through his maison and out the back to his small winery. He is immediately a passionate and refreshingly garrulous gentleman (the good winemakers of Burgundy can be a taciturn bunch when they want to be.) We paused to survey the clos behind the house, one source for his village cru (see accompanying photograph.) Stretch your neck far enough and stand on tiptoe, you can almost see Clos des Perrieres itself, his crown jewel since the family’s plot of Clos de Vougeot was sold off in the 1930s. This is a small, simple domaine devoid of trickery, the wines undergoing modest batonnage and judicious new oak, up to a modest 25%. Like Vincent Boyer, he had already bottled his 2012s when I visited in mid-October, ergo the scores are not in parenthesis.

The Grivault 2006 Meursault Clos des Perrieres fills the nose with orange blossom, lemon zest, heliotrope, and fascinating intimations of mineral stuff. Creamy and rich yet not in the least heavy, it saturates the palate with nut cream, toasted grain, candied citrus rind, lip-smacking, savory salinity, and palpable chalk. A real sense of mineral-fruit interplay develops on the palate as this takes on air, and the finish displays fascinating subtlety and impressive length. This should reward at least 6-8 years of cellaring. Predictably, the 2005 was somewhat firmer and sterner, formidably dense, and by no means less possessed of minerality. The father-daugher team of Michel and Claire Bardet has bottled an excellent collection from their five hectares of Chardonnay vines, including their monopole Clos des Perrieres. The began picking several days ahead of the official ban de vendange. Imported by Atherton Wine Imports, Menlo Park, CA, tel. (650) 328-6639

Surprisingly, while the 2001 Meursault Clos des Perrieres is immensely impressive, the 2001 Meursault-Perrieres came across as unripe and compressed. The monopole wine, harvested at 13.5% natural potential alcohol, exudes honeyed mineral and spice aromas. A fleshy, medium-bodied offering, it is rich, concentrated, broad, and pure. Loads of sappy, spicy gravel flavors are found in its silky-textured, plump personality. Drink this beauty over the next 10 years.
