The 2017 vintage in Burgundy experienced consistent warmth with regular showers, ensuring no hydric stress for the vines. Flowering was completed by early June, followed by a hot spell in July, with harvest commencing around mid-September. Michel Bouzereau is often regarded as one of Meursault's more understated yet highly capable winemakers. This Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru from Michel Bouzereau presents a deep yellow hue. On the palate, it offers notes of white fruits, predominantly pears, complemented by a lovely body. A distinctive combination of limestone and Chablis-like acidity imparts a mineral quality, culminating in a saline finish. With an hour of aeration, it evolves into a classic Meursault profile, showcasing excellent body, balanced 'oak' (a dry hazelnut character typical of aged Chardonnay), and enhanced minerality. Further descriptors include honey, stone, butter, vanilla, almond, toast, hazelnut, citrus, lemon, lime, cream, oil, peach, and acacia. Some bottles may be showing early signs of maturity, with a slight appley note. 【 A perfect expression of the site, with intense tactile minerality and finesse. 】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include shellfish, pasta, rich fish such as salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. Chicken and turkey are also excellent accompaniments. 🥂 This wine is currently at a delightful stage for enjoyment and would be a splendid choice for a special occasion like Thanksgiving. It is crafted to reward extended cellaring.
