Meursault Clos des Perrières 1er Cru 2022, Albert Grivault
The undeclared "Grand Cru." A monumental, incredibly tense, and profound Meursault, representing the ultimate expression of the mineral Perrières terroir.
Meursault Clos des Perrières 1er Cru 2022, Albert Grivault
The Clos des Perrières is the historic heart of the Perrières climat, characterized by stony, meager soils that yield wines of surgical precision. Grivault's 2022 vintage offers a perfect balance between the sun-drenched richness of the year and the vineyard's proverbial mineral austerity. The nose is complex and noble: notes of fresh butter, toasted hazelnut, and lemon zest merge with hints of smoke and flint. On the palate, it is dense, almost textural, yet pierced by a blade of crystalline acidity that provides infinite persistence.
