This stupendous wine has kept its youthful allure. The bouquet opens with notes of passionfruit, lemon peel and coconut milk before moving on to toasted hazelnut and candle wax. The texture is lively and fresh yet super-rich, densely concentrated and creamy. It is now beginning to show its potential but it should continue to drink and improve for at least another 30 years. Monumental wine. (Drink between 2022-2045)

The 2007 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is still several years away from its peak, but it is beginning to drink beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp green apple, toasted sesame, white flowers and crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tensile, it's intense and concentrated, with a racy spine of acidity and a penetrating, mineral finish. - WK

The 2007 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is a supremely gifted wine. It exudes life-affirming mineralité on a nose of powdered limestone mixed with hazelnut and a subtle fumé tincture. As I discerned before, there is a Puligny-like tension to this Perrières, and it has retained its pithy, weighty and satisfying finish. It is drinking beautifully now, but it unequivocally has a long life ahead of it. Tasted at a private dinner in Burgundy. - Neal Martin
