Vintage Character Thierry Pillot Meursault 'Les Perrières' Premier Cru 2022 is a white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most prized Premier Cru sites, a climat long celebrated for Chardonnay of drive, cut, and mineral authority. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was warm and dry, yet well-timed harvest decisions helped preserve freshness, making it a notably strong year for white wines with both ripeness and tension. Les Perrières is distinctive for its stony, limestone-rich soils—its name recalls former stone quarries—and this terroir typically gives Meursault a more linear, chiselled profile than the appellation’s broader, creamier expressions.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine shows classic Perrières precision: citrus oil, green apple, white peach, and white flowers lead into hints of hazelnut, fresh bread, wet stone, and a faint smoky reduction. The palate is concentrated yet tightly coiled, with a sleek texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, saline, mineral finish that underscores its Premier Cru pedigree. Early reviews from leading Burgundy critics were especially strong for this bottling, reinforcing its standing as one of the most compelling interpretations of the site in 2022. Pair it with butter-poached lobster, sole meunière, or roast chicken with morels.
Winery Background Thierry Pillot comes from the well-known Pillot family of Chassagne-Montrachet and is widely admired for a style built on precision, energy, and transparency to site. Alongside his work with the family domaine, he has developed a small, highly sought-after personal range, including tiny-volume cuvées such as this wine. His philosophy favors careful vineyard sourcing, exact harvest timing, restrained use of oak, and élevage designed to preserve tension rather than mask terroir. That combination of Burgundian heritage and modern finesse has made his wines especially prized by collectors who value purity over weight.
