"Your first impression of Les Perrieres is that of a typical Corton, as it is so frequently described: austere, slow to mature, tannic. But that impression should be moderated because the wine is apparently multifaceted: frankness, certainly, but also an underlying structure that lines the palate and a finish marked by minerality. There's no heaviness, which facilitates the expression of this complexity. A long ageing period is certainly beneficial." - Meo-Camuzet

One of the highlights of the range this year is the 2020 Corton Grand Cru Les Perrières, a vibrant, mineral wine evocative of wild berries, forest floor, rich spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, with beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish, it's well worth seeking out.

Méo commented that he believes that the 2020 version is the best that they have made. Exuberantly fresh yet decidedly ripe aromas include those of red and dark currant that are laced with floral, spice and oak hints. The firm, muscular and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors possess evident power and excellent length on the chewy, structured and lingering finish that flirts with rusticity.
