2024 Ballot-Millot Meursault-Perrieres 1er (Pre-arrival)

“A hint of matchstick-character is present on the elegant, ripe and airy aromas of cool citrus, wet stone, green apple and acacia blossom scents. Once again there is excellent intensity and to the medium weight flavors that possess terrific mid-palate concentration along with the hallmark bracing minerality, all wrapped in a hugely long and surprisingly powerful finish that is akin to rolling rocks around the mouth. This bone-dry effort is stunningly good, indeed it is one of the wines of the vintage and a wine that is also worth a special search to find.”
