Joseph Drouhin Meursault 'Perrieres' Premier Cru 2023

Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in Beaune in 1880 and is now overseen by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family. The winery's philosophy is rooted in a profound respect for nature, embracing organic and biodynamic practices to ensure the authentic expression of the land and the elegance of great Burgundies.

Wine Description

On the nose, it presents a complex and varied palette of aromas, including syrup, grilled almond, and preserved fruit, alongside notes of yellow fruits mingling with flower hints. One critic notes aromas of honey, flowers, and dried apples, with crushed stones and a light graphite undertone. The palate is silky and ample, full bodied, and combines generosity, freshness, and finesse. It runs long on the palate, with a lengthy finish that recalls grilled bread and fruit jam.
