Domaine de Montille Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 2021 750ml
Les Perrieres is the greatest premier cru in Meursault and, in the view of many, the one that most deserves promotion to grand cru. Its limestone rich soils and old quarry origins, which is where the name comes from, give a white Burgundy of unusual mineral intensity and remarkable ageing potential. Domaine de Montille farm a small parcel here, a little under half a hectare.
The wine is dense and aromatic, and typically Meursault only up to a point: there is yellow orchard fruit and white flowers, along with a subtle grilled, smoky note, but the defining feature is a cool mineral freshness that runs straight through the middle of the wine and out into a long, taut finish. Richness and tension are held in unusually fine balance.
Etienne de Montille took full control of the family domaine in 2001 and converted the vineyards to biodynamic farming. His stated aim is more purity and less extraction, letting fruit and site speak rather than structure, and the whites show that thinking clearly. This will reward years in the cellar. Serve with lobster, scallops, poultry in cream or a mature hard cheese.
