Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Perrières Monopole Albert Grivault 1998

Domaine de Meursault was acquired by Albert Grivault in 1879 following the death of the Marquis de la Roche. Today, Michel Bardet, Albert Grivault's grandson, runs the six-hectare domaine. The gem of the vineyard is the Clos des Perrières, a hectare of land which is run as a monopole and considered the best climat of the appellation. The domaine produces mainly Chardonnay and a little Pinot Noir. The wines are vinified using very sophisticated methods and are of a remarkable quality, placing them at the top of the wines of the appellation, even competing with certain grand crus.

Meursault du Clos des Perrières is a marvel! It has a highly complex bouquet with aromas of fruit (citrus) and flowers (acacia) and buttery hints of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine shows that it has character - with power, perfect acidity and a long, lingering finish topped off with a mineral note.
