The crisp pear and mineral-scented 2000 Meursault Perrieres is an extremely tight, light to medium-bodied wine. Buttered minerals can be discerned in its detail-oriented, lace-like personality. It appears to have the density and depth required for an even more exalted review, yet having just recently been bottled, was difficult to assess. Anticipated maturity: now-2008.
