Wine:

The 2018 White Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is almost the prerogative of the Grivault estate, which is the main owner of this appellation. Devilishly charming, both rich and mineral, it offers itself with generosity, finesse and elegance, with buttery and salty notes. A great wine and a must-have for sure!

Vinification:

Hand harvested, settling of 2 days, housing in oak barrels (1/5 of new barrels, 1/5 of one wine, 1/5 of 2 wines, 1/5 of 3 wines, 1/5 of 4 wines), ageing in a cold cellar at 13°C dug in the rock of the Place du Murger during 6 to 9 months for the evolution of the aromas, housing in barrels of less than 4 wines

Color:

Pale and bright golden yellow.

Nose:

Aromas of fresh butter and hazelnut subtly underlined by scents of acacia.

Palate:

Rich and generous on a bright fruit, this wine of great elegance offers a beautiful minerality and saline notes.

Temperature:

Serve between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Blanquette of veal, Nantua bites with crayfish, scallop cassolette with curry, lobster croustade, salmon with sorrel.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2043

One of the crown jewels of Burgundy, Albert Grivault reigns unequivocally over the Côte de Beaune. It boasts some of the most beautiful terroirs of burgundy in their portfolio, producing wines with an expert touch that largely exceed the standard of their appellation, even going as far as overshadowing a number of grand crus…


Their prices, however, have remained sheltered from the general surge as the estate owns 100% of its vineyards. Naturally, the requests for these wines are pouring in and far exceed the available production each year !
