Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Of several examples from this prestigious vineyard, the last in the flight captured its essence more than any other: the 2011 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières from Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet. Here that mineral tautness and Puligny-like stoniness is undeniable and untrammeled. The palate is beautifully poised and harmonious. There are traces of apricot and white peach, even persimmon, but the headline is the minerality and tension threaded through this premier cru from start to finish. With great persistence in the mouth, this is a convincing Perrières from the top drawer.
