Tasting Notes
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 91-93 | |
| Brisk pineapple and mineral aromas. Juicy and penetrating, with the vineyard's stony, minerally quality standing in for lower-than-average acidity. The pineapple and musky spice flavors are very rich but classically dry. Finishes with a flavor of crushed rocks. | |
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 | |
| Not surprisingly, this is the most elegant wine to this point, in fact it's the most elegant wine in the entire range with its discreetly oaked nose that sets off the green apple, wet stone and white flower aromas as well as the lemon peel suffused flavors that are impressively delineated, even chiseled on the vibrant and tension filled finish that seems to go on and on. This is really pretty and already completely harmonious. | |

| "From a vineyard farmed by the Drouhin family even though they do not own it, their 2006 Meursault Perrieres is dominated by lemon and grapefruit with sheer crushed stone. (With this site anyone trying to keep the notions of terroir influence and mineral vocabulary separate is sorely challenged ..and not just by the name of the vineyard!) With its firmness, overt stoniness, and penetrating finish, this could be Corton Charlemagne. Notes of toasted nuts add low-tones to the tonal register, and this finishes with impressive depth and peristence. It is certainly more impressively concentrated than it is charming, but it should be worth following for at least 6-8 years, and apt to improve." 91 pts. David Schildknecht |
