The name “Perrières” refers to the site's stony soils, characterised by poor ground with outcrops of dry, chalky layers. The 2023 combines the generosity and texture associated with Meursault with freshness, precision and mineral depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerrières lies within Meursault in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune.

No added yeasts or enzymes are used. Following débourbage, the wine goes directly into barrel and is aged for 12 months in French oak, of which 25% is new. Joseph Drouhin controls the weathering of its oak for three years and follows the wine barrel by barrel throughout maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseph Drouhin:\u003c\/strong\u003e “A complex and generous wine, with a rare elegance. The colour is extraordinarily luminous. On the nose, a palette of interesting and varied aromas: syrup, grilled almond, preserved fruit. In the mouth, a silky and ample texture which does not exclude freshness or lightness. Long on the palate, with flavours recalling grilled bread and fruit jam. Always a consummate example of a white Burgundy, this wine is perfection!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 — Tim Atkin MW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted October 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91–94\/100 — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted November 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Lots of honey, flowers and dried apples with crushed stones and a light graphite undertone.
