Bitouzet Prieur, Meursault Perrieres Blanc Vintage:2018 Finely balanced

Finely balanced

The palate is medium-bodied with light blackberry

(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in ’45 and the rest in ’75

The broader-shouldered flavors possess an almost painful intensity with plenty of muscle and mouth coating sap that manages to adequately buffer the slightly warm and youthfully awkward finish

lengthy finish

Bitouzet Prieur, Meursault Perrieres Blanc Vintage:2018 Finely balanced(from 30+ year old vines). Once again there is a plethora of floral influences to the lemon lime, mineral reduction and passion fruit scents. The intense, overtly stony and penetrating middle weight flavors display first rate persistence on the very firm finale. This is already lovely and if it develops better depth with time in bottle it could well achieve the upper end of my projected range. In sum, this is a classic Perrires.
