Albert Grivault - Meursault Perrieres 2022 (375ml)
Albert Grivault Description
“The Domaine Albert Grivault Clos des Perrières is one of the more storied wines of Burgundy. Long renowned for its longevity, vintages from the 19th century are still alive and well…. Parallels with young Chevalier or Corton-Charlemagne are apt because they too are often austere when young and display bright, powerful acidity, intense minerality and are perhaps the longest lived white wines in Burgundy (along with Montrachet). For the Clos des Perrières, as with Chevalier and Corton-Charlemagne, it is usually only the gift of time that brings the wondrous complexity that makes these wines so legendary.” -Allen Meadows, Burghound
Decanter: 95 Points
"Grivault's 1.55 hectares of Perrières comes from two parcels next to their monopole Clos des Perrières; there is perhaps just a touch more richness in the wines from the Clos, but this is done in a similar style, which in 2022 produced ripe notes of apricot, apple and quince, with notes of heady white flowers and a bit of reduction. The texture is slightly less dense, but the balance and equilibrium are on par. The winemaking is identical: whole cluster pressed, fermentation in primarily used casks, no sulfur until after malo, and no batonnage — the formula produced a marvellous result."-Charles Curtis, MW
