Appellation : A.O.C. Meursault 1er Cru
Varietal : Chardonnay
Color : White

The greatest and finest of the Meursault 1er Crus. The explanation of the terroir is found in its name, Perrières (pierres = stones).

The stones are quite abundant and rough, spread about the terrain with relatively shallow topsoil.

Sunshine is optimal due to its southeastern exposure and 20% grade.During ageing, it marries the complexity and roundness of Meursault with the elegance and the mineral qualities of Puligny-Montrachet.

Area under vine : 31.9 acres (12.9 ha)
