2022 Armand Heitz Meursault 1er Cru Perrières comes from one of the most revered vineyards in Meursault - often considered "Grand Cru level" in all but name. The terroir is defined by limestone-rich, rocky soils with very low clay content, giving wines of both power and precision. The nose is intense and structured, showing citrus, white peach and pear, layered with crushed stone, flint and subtle nutty complexity, reflecting both the site and the warm 2022 vintage.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a "Grand Cru level Meursault without the Grand Cru price tag". Compared to other Meursault Premier Crus, Perrières is always more serious, mineral and age-worthy, sitting stylistically closer to Puligny precision but with Meursault depth. This is perfect for customers who already understand Burgundy and want something structured, intellectual and long-aging, rather than soft and creamy. Pair with lobster, scallops or truffle dishes, or cellar for 10–20+ years - this is a wine that rewards patience.
