Surpassing even Coche's Corton-Charlemagne in this vintage, the 2009 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unfurls in the glass with a lovely bouquet of Anjou pear, green pineapple, white flowers, hazelnut and citrus oil. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's textural and enveloping, but underpinned by the most tensile acid structure of any of Coche's 2009s, concluding with a long and chalky finish.
