There is just one barrel of the 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres, which is one more than the 2013. Since the vines are rented, Francois mentioned that this might turn out to be his final one. He hopes not. It has the most complex bouquet with touches of honeysuckle, cold stone and a little hazelnut that blossom with aeration. The palate is very well-balanced with nicely judged acidity. There is an effortless feel to this Perrieres with everything in its right place toward the composed, refined finish. This is very seductive. I have been visiting Francois Mikulski for a number of years. This is a reliable address for Meursault, although like numerous others his crops were depleted in 2012, resulting in the absence of some of this cuvees including some of his Meursault village crus that were blended together. Hail was also significant, reducing Volnay Santenots down to a negligible eight hectoliters per hectare. I tasted his wines from pre-blended bottles that were as close to the final blend as Francois could estimate.
