2023, Domaine Darviot-Perrin, MEURSAULT, 1er Cru, 'Perrières'From Aux Perrires, a parcel that is shared between Domaine Darviot Perrin and Coche Dury. Originally planted in 1937 half of it is in process of being replaced. Mid yellow, power to the nose and flesh behind, yet super tightly knit with both golden fruit and good acidity. A step and a half up in concentration. Still really backward and needing more elevage. Drink from 2031 2038. **** 94 96 Jasper Morris MW

this is still an attractive and quite cerebral Le Pape

with an elegant and mid-length finish

it remains fresh despite its ripe

because all the elements are here

100% new oak for ageing

It doesn't feel at all heavy but sintilates with fragrance and freshness

sensual contours lend notable charm

modest depth

with striking depth and fine balance

Clear precision

Black ink and oyster shell

Golden Delicious and subtle nectarine scents
