Meursault Perrieres

WINE TALK
1

I really love Roulot’s version but it has become way to expensive. Who makes a great version according to people here. Do you buy them every year?

2

Bouchard. I have bought the last 5 vintages and notice very good consistency (have not tasted 09 yet).

3

Yep!!!

4

Coche?? newhere

5

Matrot makes a nice version and it’s quite reasonable.

6

I’m also a fan of Bouchard

7

Premoxapalooza!

Nick - I love the Lafon version of this one - still expensive though… Like the Bouchard and Girardin version also. CHEERS

9

never aged them. I like them young and they’re inexpensive enough to do that. But then, I’m not aging ANY white Burg. Fool me once…

10

Never had one but Lafon must be high on the list. I have enjoyed Pierre Morey 's version and also Henri Boillot. I agree that Bouchard makes a great Perrieres.

I was luck enough to do a Lafon vertical of these once. They’re stunning wines. As are the Coche. But… $$$

12

I hear ya Rick. I actually own some '07 and will be drinking them soon. Also had a few Matrot PM Combettes that were very nice @ $40.

13

The Bourgogne is actually a killer deal at $18 or so if you’re drinking the wine young. However, I’m off to crack a Lauer Barrel X and relax.

14

For the value seeker and lover of Roulot, Chateau de Puligny Montrachet makes an MP, and the house is owned by the de Montille family. As with all of their wines, Alix makes the whites, who’s husband is none other than JM Roulot. Etienne has told me they never turn away his advice. Easily found under the hundred dollar mark too. Huge sleeper wine. Grivault Clos Perrieres (the Monopole of MP) is another extremely overlooked effort, and far less than Roulot, Lafon and Coche.

Bouchard and Boillot

Boyer-Martenot produces an excellent Les Perrieres.

I bought Lafons years ago ( about 2 cases total) from '99-'02…so, so much premox.

Good ones were good though, but when I got to the '02’s, I was 2 out of 6 bottles…never again.

This is the second time I’ve seen this assertion in two weeks. Where’s it coming from? Unless there was a sale of gigantic proportions that I somehow missed, the property is owned by a bank, but managed by Etienne de Montille.

I mean, nobody says Sylvain Pitiot owns Clos de Tart just because he manages it, right?

Matrot makes a serious version and is still relatively cheap. As noted, there have been premox problems, so I’m not aging them, but still by as you can find them for $50ish so very much worth it. Older vintages I’ve had have been great. Also in the same vein, really love Pierre Morey’s, but have had promox problems there as well.

Agreed on Bouchard and Boillot, although the latter has crept up in price. But the Bouchard is still quite affordable and very good. Jadot also makes a nice version and is priced well.

So plenty of great choices other than the great and expensive Coche, Roulot, and Lafon. Fortunately for us, one of the great 1ers that has tons of quality producers.

The most disappointing version for me is the Grivault “Clos des Perrieres”, which is supposed to be the best plot, but I’ve never had a bottle that didn’t underwhelm. So some duds (IMO) as well.
