Germain crafts a tiny amount of wine from Meursault’s most revered terroir. Much of Perrières’ soil is made up of limestone debris, bringing great minerality and underlying richness (limestone holds warmth and yet also brings mineral freshness). Germain’s version—cropped from just 0.16 hectares in the sector known as Les Petites Perrières is, like his Charmes, a wine of Grand Cru standard. It’s the kind of white Burgundy that can only result from perfectly ripe berries and long, patient vinification. Do not expect a lean, austere version of this terroir; instead, Germain always offers up a Perrières that is deep and powerful (yet very mineral). The 2022 is loaded with fruit and spice, with a long, complex, rocky finish.

Reviews

“Unwinding in the glass with scents of pear, yellow orchard fruit and citrus zest mingled with notions of toasted hazelnuts, struck flint and white flowers, the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a deep core of fruit, racy acids and chalky structuring extract. It's the most tensile, penetrating wine in the cellar.”
94-96 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2022 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from 0.16ha of vine. The nose is unmistakably from this noble vineyard, suffused with crushed stone and petrichor aromas. Very focused and complex. The palate is elegant on the entry, subtle at first, building in terms of depth with a surfeit of salinity on the finish that leaves the mouth tingling. Long-term Meursault for serious Meursault-lovers.”
