Crisp White Peach, Crushed Flint, White Blossom, and Crystalline Perrières Tension

The 2023 David Moret Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrières" is a chiseled, crystalline Chardonnay from Meursault’s crown-jewel Premier Cru. It displays striking aromas of crisp white peach, lemon zest, white acacia blossom, crushed flint, and delicate toasted hazelnut. Medium-to-full-bodied and razor-sharp, it matches immense concentration with electric limestone acidity, finishing remarkably long, vibrant, and saline.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from "Les Perrières," widely recognized as the undisputed pinnacle Premier Cru climat of Meursault, possessing Grand Cru status in all but official name.
  • Planted on the site of an ancient stone quarry on hard Bathonian limestone with thin, rocky topsoils that deliver immense tension, crystalline cut, and deep saline minerality.
  • Crafted by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based artisan micro-négociant celebrated for his meticulous parcel selection and masterly elevage of Côte de Beaune terroirs.
  • Aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in select French oak barrels (around 35% new oak) followed by settling in stainless steel to harmonize oak richness with razor-sharp fruit focus.
  • From the balanced, expressive 2023 Burgundy harvest; delivers breathtaking mineral clarity today with the concentration and structure to cellar gracefully through 2036+.

Tasting Notes

Pale, brilliant gold with glistening emerald reflections, it reveals a commanding, laser-focused bouquet of crisp white peach, Meyer lemon oil, and green orchard apple, interwoven with white acacia blossoms, gunflint, crushed chalk, and subtle nuances of toasted hazelnut. The palate is full-bodied, structured, and razor-sharp, delivering dense fruit concentration across a surging core of electric limestone acidity, concluding on a monumental, salivating, and distinctly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in generous Grand Cru white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 25 to 35 minutes prior to serving to allow its muscular limestone framework and refined floral aromatics to unfurl. Optimal drinking window now through 2036+.
