The 2022 Pernot Belicard Les Perrieres Dessous Meursault 1er Cru hails from a rising star in Burgundy, Domaine Pernot Belicard, founded by Philippe Pernot. Philippe, a scion of the esteemed Paul Pernot dynasty, has been making rapid strides, focusing on meticulous vineyard management and an extended aging process that includes time in stainless steel tanks with fine lees to enhance integration and completeness. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a healthy harvest with good volumes, a hot and dry growing season mitigated by significant June rains, leading to concentrated wines. Winemakers carefully managed harvest dates to preserve freshness. 【Rising star producer with integrated and complete wines from a concentrated vintage】 This wine is described as a "flat-out stunner" with impressive layers of complexity and depth, showcasing orchard fruits and flinty notes. Tasting notes from Burghound highlight its clear pale color, energetic nose, clean white orchard fruit, generosity, excellent length, and adequate acidity.

Mentions of butter, oak, honey, minerals, toasted almond, hazelnut, apple, apricot, pear, cream, and lime also appear in tasting profiles. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include shellfish, pasta, rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled lobster, crawfish, or king prawns in garlic butter sauce, as well as poultry or veal with white sauce. 🥂 This Meursault 1er Cru is an excellent choice for a celebratory meal or a special occasion, and for collectors seeking an age-worthy white Burgundy. With an optimal consumption window of 8 to 10 years and an aging potential of up to 15 years, it promises to evolve beautifully.
