The 2023 Domaine de Montille Meursault Les Perrières is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most highly regarded vineyard sites in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay by the highly respected Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic philosophy and restrained winemaking approach, focusing on mineral precision, freshness and long-term ageing potential. The limestone-rich soils of Les Perrières are known for producing some of the most refined and tension-driven wines in Meursault, and the 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant acidity and balance.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with remarkable depth and finely integrated acidity that gives the wine both structure and energy. Flavours of lemon zest, white peach and pear unfold alongside subtle toasted almond, flinty minerality and restrained oak influence from careful barrel maturation. Domaine de Montille’s measured élevage preserves vineyard transparency and purity of fruit, while the stony terroir of Les Perrières contributes notable saline tension and persistence. The finish is long, dry and precise with lingering citrus, chalk and lightly smoky mineral nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Meursault for customers seeking a mineral-driven and cellar-worthy Chardonnay with precision, depth and classic Côte de Beaune character. The 2023 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, scallops, roast poultry, truffle dishes or aged hard cheeses.
