Ballot-Millot, Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres, 2022

From the esteemed 1er Cru Perrières vineyard in Meursault, Ballot-Millot’s 2022 Meursault showcases the region’s ability to produce wines that are both fresh and complex. The well-drained soils and optimal exposure of Perrières contribute to a Chardonnay that is refined, with a precise balance between fruit, acidity, and minerality. The 2022 vintage opens with aromas of zesty citrus—lemon, grapefruit—complemented by delicate white floral notes and hints of almond. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture that reflects the careful oak aging, while the bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The minerality from the Perrières vineyard adds depth and complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering citrus and a subtle, toasty note. Ideal for pairing with lobster, roasted chicken, or creamy cheeses, this Meursault 1er Cru offers both elegance and versatility.
