The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières has a more austere and distant bouquet compared to the explosive Genevrières: wonderful stone and sea cave scents with oyster shell coming through with continued aeration. The palate is poised from the very well balanced tension and length, plus there is tangible salinity on the finish. This is the well-behaved cousin of the Genevrières but hey, who do you want to hang out with?
