Ballot Millot Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres 2021 [NET]
Perrières in a rare vintage. The 2021 growing season was one of Burgundy's most challenging—cold, wet, and windy during flowering—resulting in tiny yields and scarce bottles. What survived is mineral, taut, and driving: pure Burgundy DNA without the density of warmer years. Charles Ballot (17th generation at Domaine Ballot-Millot) farms organically, follows the lunar cycle, and keeps new oak to a maximum of 25%. The Perrières vineyard—named for the stone quarries that once supplied local villages—sits on thin, rocky limestone soils that produce wines of striking minerality and Grand Cru-level intensity. Aged 12 months in barrel, six months in tank.
