Jean-Michel Gaunoux Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres 2023

Jean-Michel Gaunoux Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 2023 is a finely tuned Chardonnay from one of Meursault’s most revered premier cru sites. It combines vibrant freshness, stony precision, and graceful concentration, offering an expressive Burgundy that is both immediately appealing and built with cellaring potential.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Meursault shows brightness and clarity rather than heavy oak or opulence. The nose opens with white flowers, jasmine, citrus, and white peach, all layered over a distinct mineral, almost chalky undertone that gives the wine its sense of lift and definition. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a precise line of acidity and a cool, saline mineral character that brings focus to the fruit. The finish is long, dry, and intensely stony, with more nerve and precision than Les Charmes. While enjoyable now for its purity and energy, it should develop beautifully over the next several years, gaining texture and complexity with bottle age.

Viininvalmistus
The fruit comes from a small mid-slope parcel in Les Perrières, planted in the early 1980s and hand-harvested to preserve fruit integrity. The vineyard is farmed according to sustainable principles, with winemaking aimed at precision and a clear expression of terroir rather than excess richness. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and the wine is vinified unfiltered and unfined. Around 25-30% new French oak barriques are used to add subtle finesse, followed by 12-14 months of aging before a period in stainless steel to retain freshness and structural clarity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast chicken, veal, lobster, scallops, turbot, or creamy mushroom risotto. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and simply prepared seafood where its mineral character can shine. Serve at 10-12°C, and decanting is optional but can help open the wine if enjoyed in its youth.
