The Premier Cru Perrieres vineyard features thin, rocky soils rich in limestone, hosting 70-year-old vines. Employing traditional methods, the winemaking process includes extended lees contact and aging in barrels for 15-22 months. The 1996 vintage was outstanding, proving that these wines have the ability to evolve and age gracefully over time.

When the world's wine lovers speak of Jean-Francois Coche the words Corton-Charlemagne are sure to follow. Personally, I feel his Meursault Perrieres is just as extraordinary, and sometimes more so. This vineyard contributes an element of refinement and class to Coche's hedonistic, powerful, and intense style. The 1996 is breathtaking because tasting it is a levitating experience. Its beguiling, almost spiritual bouquet is composed of precisely defined minerals. The palate is greeted by explosive, powerful, awesomely elegant, intense, mouth-coatingly sweet and yet bone dry stones, gravel, crisp pears, and toasty oak. This unbelievably dense and complex, yet pure and perfectly defined wine is massively structured and has an unending finish that reveals cardamon, anise, honeysuckle blossoms, and spices. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010+.

Vibrant grapefruit, lemon and mineral aromas give off a superripe whiff of dried peach. Painfully intense on the palate, with great power and thrust, not to mention structure for aging. A lightly toasty quality leads to an oaky back end. A complete wine with incredible lift. This will need at least six or seven years of bottle aging and may be in the league of the great 1990.
