The super-impressive 1997 Meursault Perrieres exhibits powerful mineral, nut, and stone-like aromas. Its rich, medium-to-full-bodied, and expansive personality has delightfully spicy buttered toast flavors. It is well-balanced (particularly for the vintage), dense, and should age gracefully. Drink it between 2001 and 2008.
