Meursault Perrieres 2011 Coche Dury

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is very much in the classic style of the domaine, opening in the glass with a bouquet of lemon zest, pear, white flowers, sesame and a generous framing of oak vanillin. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, saline and edgy, with taut acids, a vertical mid-palate and a searing, stony finish. Though this did fill out with several hours in the glass, it isn’t the most ample or ripe rendition of this bottling; but I’d describe it as lithe rather than lean, and I fully expect it to improve for a decade or more.
