The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is extraordinary, and one of the very finest white Burgundies of the vintage, unfurling in the glass with notes of lemon oil, Anjou pear, crushed chalk, almond paste and subtle sesame oil, elegantly framed by a judicious application of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, immensely concentrated and persistent, with satiny structuring extract, stunning mid-palate depth and a long, unerringly precise finish. While readers will not find the reductive signature that characterized Coche-Dury's wines of yesteryear, the wine's completeness, purity and incredible intensity leave little room for argument about its quality. This is a superb Perrières that proves that Raphaël Coche will be more than able to adapt to the warmer, riper vintages that have been coming thick and fast this decade.
