Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a perfumed floral bouquet with white fruit, popcorn, quince and light orange blossom scents. Fine delineation, though not the most powerful. The palate is nicely balanced with a touch of patisserie on the entry and vanilla and peach melba. It has good depth, and everything is kept tensile by the line of acidity, although it doesn't boast the most complexity amongst its peers on the finish. Still, this sophisticated Les Perrières should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Tight and fresh, very lean. Presumably it's designed to age but that's not obvious at this stage! (JR)
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.
