🍷 Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux, Meursault 1er Cru ‘Les Perrières’
France | Burgundy | Chardonnay | White Wine
Style: Rich, Silky & Mineral-Driven

✨ A standout Meursault Premier Cru, ‘Les Perrières’ lives up to its prestigious reputation with a thrilling interplay of opulence, precision, and terroir intensity.

👁️ In the Glass: Gleaming golden yellow with silver reflections, revealing both richness and finesse.

👃 On the Nose: A luxurious bouquet of toasted almonds and acacia honey, layered with ripe orchard fruits and subtle hints of creamy oak.

💫 On the Palate: Full-bodied and unctuous, yet perfectly poised. Flavours of pear, baked apple, and brioche glide over a silky glycerol texture, framed by buttery oak and a focused, flinty mineral finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing: Elevates spicy and aromatic dishes like Chinese barbecue pork, fried shrimp with peanut sauce, or rich appetizers like salmon mousse. Also excellent with creamy cheeses and mildly spiced cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential: Already expressive, but capable of aging gracefully for 10–12 years, gaining depth and nutty complexity.

💎 Why You’ll Love It: This is Meursault at its most alluring—opulent but never heavy, mineral but not austere. A white Burgundy for those who crave both texture and tension.
