Description
Mid slope parcels characterized by limestone scree and compacted marl form the core of Perrières at Yves Boyer-Martenot and underpin the 2020 Meursault premier cru drawn from this climat. These fast draining soils support steady ripening, and the domaine’s sustained experience in the sector informs a viticultural approach centered on precise pruning, managed ground cover, and canopy adjustments responsive to the warm yet well ventilated conditions of the season. Fruit was harvested manually and pressed before fermentation in French oak barrels, with new wood applied in a restrained proportion to frame development without overt imprint. Lees aging extended through the following year, with each cask assessed individually to track evolution. Within the Boyer Martenot range, Perrières remains a detailed articulation of a historic Meursault premier cru shaped by consistent site stewardship and a measured, site driven elevage.
