Reviewed by: William Kelley
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.
