(93-96 points) La Perière has enough soil to keep adequate water even in a dry year. Fresh mid purple. Plenty of fresh raspberry fruit on the nose, and following through in the mouth. Just a whiff of white pepper. This is certainly stylish and then delivers a particularly long and sappy finish. Exceptionally persistent even within this fine range!

(91-93 points) Once again the nose is super-fresh and bright with its array of both red and dark berries, earth and a floral top note. The pliant, vibrant and utterly delicious middleweight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality that adds lift to the dusty, sleek and youthfully austere finish that delivers very good length.

(91-93 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perrière 1er Cru includes one-third whole bunches and 25% new oak. It has a stony, slightly more austere bouquet than Mortet's other cuvée, though there is some lovely blackberry and raspberry fruit to enjoy. It’s just in the background at present. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It’s pure and elegant, offering mainly red berry fruit laced with orange rind and a dash of spice box on the finish. There's a nice strictness here.

(90-92 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière sheds some youthful reduction in the glass to reveal aromas of plums, orange zest, vine smoke and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and giving palate that's soft and seamless.- WK
