Critics Scores
Decanter
The good news in 2018 is that the vintage's comparatively generous yields mean that there will be 14 barrels from this 1ha parcel, so more people will get to sample this stunning Premier Cru white. Subtle, complex, elegant and concise, it’s a wine that's beautifully weighted and refined, with incredible palate length, subtle reduction and stony minerality. (TA)
Vinous
The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a very classy bouquet with the most mineralité of all the Premier Crus, as you might expect. Very precise, it is more immediate than the Charmes, featuring crisp acidity and hints of ginger and fennel. Very harmonious yet powerful on the clinically precise finish. The manner in which this lingers in the mouth is entrancing. A killer Meursault deserving of long-term aging. (NM)
Burghound
There is a touch of matchstick character on the more floral-scented nose of mineral reduction, acacia blossom and lemongrass that is trimmed in discreet oak. The medium-bodied flavors possess excellent drive and an abundance of sap on the clean, chiseled, bone-dry and tightly wound finale. This classy, focused and powerful effort is impeccably well-balanced and should age accordingly
Robert parker's Wine Advocate
Offering up aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, crisp green apple and freshly baked bread, the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with good depth, concentration and tension at the core, concluding with a long and precise finish. Tasted from barrel side by side with the 2017 Perrières from bottle, the 2018 isn't as textural, and its bouquet doesn't display the musky aromatic top notes that mark the 2017—but it promises to be every bit as compelling.
