Fresh floral scent with notes of white flowers and peach. There is also a sweet aroma of honey. With subtle buttery and bready notes. The taste is smooth and delicate with a mineral finish. The Meursault Perrieres vineyard was once an ancient quarry. The soil is full of stones washed down by rivers and has very good drainage, so it is named after the French stone "Perrieres". It has always been regarded as one of the best Premier Crus in Burgundy and is known as the vineyard that is closest to the quality of the Grand Cru among the first-class vineyards. There are even plans to upgrade it to a Grand Cru, made up of several smaller lieux-dits.

【Domaine Albert Grivault - Meursault Outstanding Winery】
Domaine Albert Grivault is known as the star winery of Meursault. He works with some of the best vineyards and has one of the most famous vineyards in the region. In addition to the first-class vineyard Clos des Perrieres, which is the exclusive domain of the winery, Grivault's winemaking style focuses on fresh, pure fruit aroma, minerality, and bright acidity. These wines age extremely well, with some of the top wines taking several years to fully reveal their true complexity and style. Authoritative Burgundy wine reviewer Jasper Morris MW highly praised the winery: "This could be one of the great domaines of Meursault."
Domaine Albert Grivault was founded in 1879 by Albert Grivault as a distillery and later developed into a winery. After Albert Grivault's death, the estate was run by his widow and then by his daughters Berthe Grivault and Mathilde Bardet. In 1980, Albert Grivault's grandsons Michel Bardet, Marguerite and Denise Chevignard took over the estate. Since 2004, the management responsibility of the winery has been handed over to Claire Bardet, with Henri Marc as deputy. Michel is still responsible for the winemaking, participating in the aging and marketing of the wine until 2019.
It is worthy that Albert Grivault has exclusive possession of this high-quality garden in Clos des Perrières. The flagship wine is of course Meursault Perrieres, which has always been regarded as one of the best Premier Crus in Burgundy. There are even plans to upgrade it to Grand Cru, which is composed of several smaller lieux-dits, namely Uphill Perrières Dessus, adjacent Aux Perrières, downhill Perrières Dessous, and within Dessous there is an independent Premier Cru, the walled Clos des Perrières. In addition, other wines such as Meursault1er Cru Perrieres, Pommard1er Cru Clos Blanc, and Meursault Clos Du Murger are also equally impressive.
