Critics Ratings

'This is quite firmly reduced with ample sulfur in evidence so I would strongly advise decanting this in advance. There is excellent volume and energy to the intensely mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a highly seductive texture before culminating in a citrusy, markedly dry and austere finish. This is still very much of a baby and I wouldn't even think about opening a bottle before this has at least 5 years of bottle age.'- Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Feb 2014)

'The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres, which comes from 45-year-old vines located upon the lower reaches of the climat, has a very complex bouquet: bashful for the first minute or so but then expanding beautifully with wilted petals and a hint of wild honey. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, demonstrating a little more weight and penetration than the Genevrieres, with suggestions of toffee and even a dab of white chocolate on the long, tender finish. This just has a fabulous texture and will be fascinating to watch evolve. Drink 2015-2030.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Aug 2013)
