Green apple, pear, saline, honey, and a deep stony mineral backbone — rich, full-bodied, and complex with serious length. 100% Chardonnay from a half-hectare of 40-year-old vines on intensely stony clay-limestone, east-southeast facing, just northeast of the village. 12 months in oak, 20% new. Roughly 250 cases produced. "Perrières" means quarry — and you can taste the rocks. This was the very first Premier Cru white the Prudhons ever bottled when they stopped selling to négociants in the early '80s. Three generations of village mayors making Burgundy that punches well above its appellation. Pair with roast chicken, lobster, or aged Comté.
