2015 Meursault 1. Cru Les Perrières Henri Boillot

A distinctly restrained nose requires aggressive swirling to coax the lovely aromas of citrus peel, floral, wet stone and white orchard fruit aromas. The intensity of the chiseled flavors is borderline painful and this intensity continues onto the youthfully austere, stony and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a really lovely Perrières though note that it's one of the relatively few examples of the vintage that will definitely require at least some patience.

Good medium yellow. Sexy scents of pineapple, ripe peach and musky crushed rock. Stricter on the palate than the Genevrières, conveying terrific cut and mineral energy to its stone fruit and pineapple flavors. Classic Perrières wet-stone character. This seamless wine finishes bright, pure and very long, without any phenolic roughness. But it will need time in bottle to deepen and gain in dimension. Drinking window: 2021-2028
