Rating: 94 –96

The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is one of the finest I've tasted from barrel at this address, mingling aromas of pear and ripe citrus oil with notions of hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that's wonderfully deep and pure, its satiny attack segueing into a layered, refined core of fruit, concluding with a long, palate-staining finish.

Dancer's 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is his finest premier cru this year, unfurling in the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers, beeswax and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and multidimensional, with a racy spine of acidity, exceptional texture and concentration and a long, mineral finish.

At age 10, Vincent Dancer's 2008 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is showing very well. On the nose, it's still quite shy, unfurling in the glass with scents of almond paste, waxy citrus rind, wet stones and a delicate framing of new wood. It's on the palate that the real excitement is found, as the wine is full-bodied, broad and searingly intense, with a satiny attack, huge concentration and an abundance of chalky structuring extract, built around an incisive spine of acidity and concluding with a long, subtly wood-inflected finish. If the nose can ever match the thrilling palate, this will merit several more points, but in any case, it numbers among the finest wines to emerge from what could be called the "first phase" of Vincent Dancer's career.

The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus oil, white flowers, pear and crisp stone fruit. Medium to full-bodied, textural and concentrated, it's searingly intense, with lively acids and impressive levels of chalky structuring dry extract. Long and saline, it's more marked by the site than the vintage.

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unwinds in the glass with notes of citrus zest, pear, freshly baked bread, orange rind and smoky reduction. Medium to full-bodied, layered and immensely concentrated, it's chalky and tensile, with huge depth at the core and a long, mineral finish.

The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is chalky and ethereal, offering up notes of crisp pear, peach, minty green apple and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural palate that's concentrated and chiseled, with good grip and cut.

Vincent Dancer's 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is superb, unfolding in the decanter and glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of green apple, smoke, white flowers, crushed chalky and gentle reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, pure and concentrated, with lovely textural gloss, a bright line of acidity, a tight-knit core and a grippy, tongue-tinglingly intense finish. While some of Dancer's 2014s can already be approached with pleasure, it would be a mistake to open this until several more years have elapsed, but its quality is already apparent.

Rating: 93 –95

As is often the case, Dancer's 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières was one of the least resolved of the wines in the cellar at this early stage, though its signature aromas of crushed rocks and white flowers was already apparent beneath the scents of ongoing fermentation. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with amazing depth and purity. I suspect it will surpass the Romanée this year, but it's still too soon to tell: prudent purchasers will buy both.
