Burgundian Chardonnay at its most crystalline and profound.
Opens with honeyed pear and white peach, electric with citrus zest. Stone-driven intensity builds layer by layer - crushed limestone, wet chalk, sea spray minerality. This 2016 cuts like a blade through rich orchard fruit. Mid-palate reveals hazelnut cream, brioche warmth from careful oak. Acidity stays razor-sharp throughout. The finish? Pure liquid mineral - saline, flinty, endless. Classic Perrières terroir expression. Drinking beautifully now but will evolve magnificently through 2035. Each sip reveals new facets. Lafon's vineyard work shines in this vintage's perfect ripeness-acidity marriage. Simply stunning white Burgundy.
🍷 You worship at the altar of great white Burgundy and have a special celebration worthy of liquid gold.
Pairs with: Dover sole meunière, roasted lobster with herbs, aged Comté cheese, truffle risotto
