The 2023 Domaine Ballot-Millot Meursault Premier Cru Perrières is an exceptional white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown in one of Meursault's most revered Premier Cru vineyards. Renowned for its precision, minerality and remarkable ageing potential, this wine beautifully expresses the elegance and complexity of the Perrières terroir. The nose is refined and expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, lemon zest and citrus blossom, complemented by notes of flint, roasted hazelnut, brioche and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured, creamy mouthfeel, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon curd layered with hints of toasted almond, subtle oak spice and striking mineral complexity. The finish is long, focused and beautifully balanced, combining richness with exceptional finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Meursault for lovers of world-class Chardonnay seeking elegance, complexity and outstanding ageing potential. Enjoy after a short decant or cellar confidently over the next 12–18 years. Ideal with lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with morels or mature Comté cheese.
