Domaine Henri Germain Meursault 1er Cru Perrières 2020

Domaine Henri Germain Perrières is a tiny production from what is widely held to be Meursault's finest terroir.

Perrières takes its name from the quarries once worked there, and much of its soil is limestone debris. Those stones bring warmth while the limestone brings mineral freshness, which is why the vineyard gives wines of both power and cut and is routinely spoken of as grand cru in all but name. Germain crops just 0.12 hectares, in the sector known as Les Petites Perrières. His version, like his Charmes, is made in the traditional Meursault manner, with perfectly ripe fruit and a long, patient vinification in used Burgundian barrels. This is not a lean or austere reading of the site: Germain's Perrières is consistently deep and powerful while keeping the mineral spine that defines the vineyard.

Give it three to five years and cellar for fifteen. Serve at 10-12°C with roast bream, lobster or a chicken with cream sauce.
