Pierre Matrot - Meursault Perrieres 2012
Ist Cru
June 9, 2017
A well structured and medium-bodied Meursault that has something for everyone, minerals, oak, citrus and butter
This wine presented with a light golden color and an aroma that gave some sense of minerals and oak with a touch of citrus. It was a medium-bodied wine that had a careful balance of butter, oak and citrus. A good mineral base was also present that had a good bite on the middle palate. As the wine opened, it presented as more steely than fruity and had a reasonable but not a large finish. The wine was very well structured and had good balance between the mineral aspects and its fruit. While I am not a huge fan of an overly mineral or citrus driven wine, in this case these qualities added to the wine's overall performance as they augmented what was otherwise just a medium-bodied wine. This wine is at or near its peak now so I would not wait too much longer to consume it. Cost $53.99/btl. Rating CW89
