2017 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru Méo-Camuzet, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

Aromas of red berries, warm spices, orange rind and cedary new wood introduce the 2017 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied wine that's bright and tensile, with firm but fine-grained tannins and a chalky, austere profile that mark it out as a wine that will need some time in bottle. Méo used 15% stems here. - Dr. William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Wine Spectator - 2017 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

This is special, from the haunting aromas of rose, wild cherry, currant, mineral and spice to the silky texture and beautifully integrated structure. It's still very young, with a burr to the otherwise refined tannins, finishing long and resonant. Best from 2023 through 2045. 300 cases made, 76 cases imported. - BS, Feb. 2021

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

A moderately oaked nose is comprised by an exuberantly spicy array of plum, cassis, earth and evident sauvage nuances. The impressively rich and seductively textured broad-shouldered flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract, all wrapped in a balanced, long and highly complex finish. I very much like the way this fans out on the strikingly persistent finish. In short, this is outstanding. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

The 2017 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru has quite a punchy nose, one that wants to be noticed, offering copious dark cherry, wild strawberry and bergamot aromas and becoming ever more floral with aeration. The medium-bodied palate is quite sweet, featuring a touch of fig confit on the entry and candied orange peel lacing the vibrant red fruit. The 10% stem addition lends a little spice on the finish. This is perhaps more expressive than previous vintages I have encountered at this stage in the past. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
