WINE DESCRIPTION
Upon your initial encounter with Les Perrieres, it might strike you as a classic representation of Corton, often described as austere, taking its time to mature, and imbued with tannins. However, it's important to temper that impression because this wine reveals a multifaceted character. It possesses a straightforwardness, certainly, but it also harbors an underlying structure that defines the palate, and a finish that is distinctly influenced by minerality. Importantly, there is a lack of heaviness, which allows this complexity to shine through. It's worth noting that extended aging can undoubtedly enhance its qualities.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Méo-Camuzet Corton Grand Cru 'Les Perrières' is a remarkable wine that showcases the true essence of a Grand Cru from the Corton appellation.With its deep ruby color, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets and roses. There is also a subtle hint of earthiness, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, this Grand Cru displays a harmonious balance between its fruitiness and its well-integrated oak influence. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, complemented by hints of blackcurrants and a touch of spice. The wine's silky tannins provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel, while its vibrant acidity adds freshness and structure. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and refinement.
