In his book on Burgundy, Robert Parker writes "Les Perrieres, while officially only a Premier Cru, produces white burgundies of Grand Cru status. The wines are splendid, resembling more than anything else those from the renowned vineyard Le Montrachet." This is an excellent example of Meursault-Perrieres from Pierre Matrot. Sourced from mature vines averaging 56 years of age. Fermentation is in one to five year old barrels with indigenous yeasts over 8 to 10 weeks and then maturing on the lees for 11 months. Vinous scored this 93+ saying "Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of grapefruit, orange and stony minerality reminded me a bit of Alsace Riesling. Stylish, elegant and just ripe enough, with saline crushed-stone minerality giving the middle palate superb cut and penetration. A hint of crushed herbs adds an element of complexity to this dynamic, soil-driven wine. For all its energy, it's not at all aggressive." and BurgHound scored this 93 saying "There is just enough reduction present to mask the underlying fruit but I doubt that it will last for long as the material is clearly here to absorb the sulfur. By contrast there is both good freshness and punch to the solidly complex middle weight flavors that are textured, pure and detailed while exhibiting a wonderfully refined finish that delivers terrific length. This is textbook Perrières that should amply reward up to a decade of cellar time."
