The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres is both delineated and harmonious on the nose with apple blossom and pear scents, although it needs to muster more vigor. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry that is struck through by a lovely citric thread of acidity and it builds nicely in the mouth to a vibrant, lemon zest and Clementine-tinged finish. Once the aromatics find their footing, this will be very fine. Drink 2014-2025. It was a pleasure to return to one of my favorite Meursault growers, Francois Mikulski, a conscientious winemaker. His wines offer both broad commercial appeal and the complexity to satisfy aficionados. If I am being honest, I do not think Francois’ 2011s quite hit all the buttons, and occasionally displayed too much herbaceous character. However, they are keenly priced and from my own experience can mature deceptively well, though I think I would enjoy these wines in the flush of youth. Francois told me that he replaced his Gamay with Chardonnay, therefore 2012 will be the last vintage of the Bourgogne Passetoutgrain. Since 2008, Francois has made three barrels of Meix Chavaux, which is orientated east/northeast. No known American importer.
