2023 | Domaine Bernard Millot Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrières" | Burgundy | France

Meursault's greatest premier cru — Perrières — from a four-generation family grower on the rise.

Domaine Bernard Millot, the four-generation Meursault estate now led by young Emilien Millot, farms 8 hectares with minimal intervention. "Les Perrières" is the crown jewel: a premier cru at the southern end of Meursault widely considered the commune's finest site, capable of grand-cru intensity — floral, rich, and profoundly mineral.

Perrières from a rising family domaine is where white-Burgundy insiders spend. Meursault's top 1er cru, family-farmed, terroir-driven → Perrières rivals grand cru → this is serious white Burgundy at a grower's price.

• Chardonnay
• Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrières" — Côte de Beaune, Burgundy
• Domaine Bernard Millot — Emilien Millot, four generations
• Widely rated Meursault's finest premier cru

Ripe citrus, white peach and hazelnut over a deep, mineral, stony core with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. Translation: this is the serious stuff — the honeyed richness of great Meursault married to a driving, stony minerality and real length. Cellar it or splurge tonight.

Meursault's benchmark premier cru from a family grower on the way up. Exactly the white Burgundy to open when it matters.
