2022 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Corton Grand Cru "Les Perrieres", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
"Les Perrières" is a distinguished Grand Cru vineyard located just north of the village of Aloxe-Corton. The name "Perrières" refers to the numerous round, often pink-colored stones that characterize its deep, stony soils. This unique terroir imparts a notable minerality to the wine. The 2022 vintage showcases a complex bouquet of black and red fruits, including cherry and blackcurrant, intertwined with hints of licorice, smoke, and subtle herbal notes like mint and eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is both compact and fresh, with a tannic presence that adds seriousness and depth. The vinification process involves minimal intervention, with a focus on preserving the wine's natural finesse. A slightly higher fermentation temperature towards the end is employed to extract additional richness without overly enhancing the tannins. This wine is built to age gracefully, with an optimal drinking window beginning around 2030.
