Description
 
Perhaps the consistently greatest white wine from the Bitouzet-Prieur domaine, the “Perrieres” is firmly mineral, quite spicy and more elegant than the Charmes; a great wine of class and breed with remarkable density and a wine of extraordinary potential. Two barrels are reserved for the US market; magnums are always drawn for our use and double magnums are also prepared on occasion. The Bitouzets own 0.28 hectares of vines here in the part of the vineyard known as “Perrieres Dessous” and their vines were planted in 1983.

(from 30+ year old vines). A pungent combination of sulfur and reduction renders the nose unreadable. There is excellent punch and precision to the intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that display enough dry extract to buffer the firm acid spine that shapes the clean, dry and lemon-infused finish. This is a classic Perrières that should amply reward up to a decade of cellar time. One to strongly consider. A Sweet Spot Wine. BH92
