Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

One of the signature wines of the domain. This is absolute world class, a wine that is often marketed later than the other wines. A wine that needs cellar ageing out of respect. A lot of minerality, an enormous depth and simply impressive. This wine can easily compete with Grand Cru's from the neighbouring municipality.
