The Meursault Perrieres has oil, mineral and wood-fired aromas as well as a superb, medium-to-full-bodied, highly-delineated, elegant, and complex character with exciting and lively gravelly flavors. This wonderfully refined wine possesses a remarkably focused and long finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2010.
