Joseph Drouhin Meursault Perrieres 2012

The bouquet of Meursault Perrières is not only elegant and refined but also very complex. Among all the Premier Crus of Meursault, it is the most reserved and it always takes a few minutes for the wine to fully develop its aromas and flavours. It is a wine of great distinction.Site: a few kilometers south of Beaune, in the prestigious area known as Cote des Blancs (slope of the whites). History & tradition: at the center of the Meursault appellation. The vineyards were given their names at a very early time, according to the general aspect of the land or the type of vegetation which grew there. This is why we find names such as ”genevriers” (juniper trees), ”tilleuls” (linden trees), or ”Perrieres” (stony soil).Soil: poor soil, with outcrops of dry, chalky layers.Viticulture: Plantation density: 10,000 stocks/ha in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir
