Domaine Jacques Prieur, Meursault Les Perrières 2023 White

Domaine Jacques Prieur Meursault Les Perrières 2023 is a refined white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru sites. Renowned for combining mineral precision with generous texture, Les Perrières takes its name from the limestone-rich soils that give the wine its distinctive energy and length. Produced from Chardonnay, this is a distinguished expression of one of the Côte de Beaune’s classic terroirs.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden in appearance, the 2023 vintage offers an inviting nose of ripe pear, white peach and citrus, layered with subtle floral notes and the delicate toasted nuances often associated with fine Burgundy. On the palate, it is concentrated yet poised, with a silky texture balanced by fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral character. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon zest and lightly nutty, creamy tones lead to a long, persistent finish. The wine is approachable with decanting or a little time in the glass, but its structure and Premier Cru pedigree suggest excellent development potential. It should gain further complexity over the next several years and may cellar gracefully for around 8–12 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The Perrières vineyard is distinguished by its stony, limestone-dominant soils, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine’s characteristic mineral freshness. Chardonnay grapes are typically harvested with great care to preserve balance and aromatic precision, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in oak. Maturation in barrel helps build texture and complexity while allowing the vineyard’s purity and structure to remain at the forefront; exact élevage details for this bottling are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 11–13°C, allowing the wine to open gradually as it warms in the glass. It is an excellent partner for roasted or grilled turbot, scallops, lobster, poultry with a light cream sauce and delicate veal dishes. A short decant of 20–30 minutes can help reveal its aromatic depth in its youth, although older bottles are best opened and poured carefully to preserve their freshness.
