Matrot's slightly golden colored 1998 Meursault Perrieres displays a dried honey-scented nose. This flavorful stone, gravel, and mineral-flavored wine has intensity, focus, and excellent persistence, yet lacks harmony. Notes of tangy grapefruit can be found throughout its character and finish. At the same time, it displays traits of a mature wine and those of a youthful, unformed, disjointed one. Anticipated maturity: now-2005+.
