Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières from Vincent Girardin is showing a little more oak on the nose compared to its peers with touches of patisserie, almond and coconut complementing the citrus fruit. The palate is fresh and crisp with a fine line of acidity, just tapering towards the tropical finish that indicates elements of botrytis. I prefer other releases from Girardin in this year.
