History

The village of Meursault is located in the Côte de Beaune, next to very famous villages like Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, which produce some of the greatest white wines of Burgundy.

“Les Perrières” refers to the numerous stone quarries that once existed in this location. Workers there were once known as “perriers” hence the vineyard’s name.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were handpicked and hand sorted as soon as they arrived at the winery.

They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juice without over pressing the grapes.

The wine was vinified and aged in barrels with a proportion of 20% new oak and aged on the lees for 14 months with occasional stirring.
