Pale yellow. Yellow fruits, spices and minerals on the nose. Dense, layered and sweet, but with very good grip and minerality giving the middle palate clarity and lift. A very subtle, pure wine with a dry, brisk finish. Rated 92 (+?) points.

From more then 50 year old vines in the upper reaches of this cru and a slightly younger parcel lower-down, the Girardin 2006 Meursault Perrieres delivers toasted hazelnut, orange zest, nutmeg, talcum, and chalk in the nose. Creamy, silken, and rich on the palate, it displays a knitting-together of ripe fruit with citrus, mineral, and oak inflections that most of the wines here were (as yet?) missing on the day I tasted. Partly, this is surely a matter of the impressive sheer concentration of juicy primary fruit and complex mineral character on display here. Clear, pure, and ringing in its bright citrus, this also finishes with suggestions of marzipan-, hazelnut-, orange cream- and pit fruit-filled buttered pastry, and uncanny intimations of minerality. This fine representative of a great vineyard is a candidate for at least 6-8 years bottle aging.
