This Meursault is full-bodied and creamy, yet kept taut by a pronounced minerality and fresh acidity, and that balance is the key to the table. Choose dishes with buttery or creamy richness that the wine's weight can meet, while the acidity cuts through the fat and keeps everything fresh. The stony, chiseled expression also suits umami-rich and nutty flavors, so mature cheeses and lightly browned vegetables fall naturally into place. Avoid the very delicate, simple fish dishes, where the wine's bodily heft will dominate.

About the wine

Bitouzet-Prieur's 0.28 hectare plot is located between Clos des Perrières and the border of Puligny-Montrachet, in Perrières-Dessus to be specific, next to Lafon. As you would expect, this is a stony and chiseled expression of Meursault with a compact and clean profile. Tight minerality and concentrated energy give a good aging potential.

Inside Burgundy
From vines planted in 1983 in the central core of Perrieres. There is quite powerful fruit, with the full imprint of Perrieres, ripe pears with the apples, a significantly greater depth of fruit than the Charmes, well tied in to the acidity, and with fine length. Drink from 2030-2037.

Vinous
The 2022 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a more complex bouquet than the Meursault Charmes: dried honey, frangipane, cockle shells and light white chocolate flecks.
