About this wine
Ampeau's Meursault Perrières, released at full maturity, is a rare opportunity to experience one of Burgundy's most celebrated terroirs as it was actually meant to be drunk—with years of bottle age already developed. The wine combines Premier Cru minerality with the complex secondary aromatics that only extended aging can provide.
Unlike most Meursault, Ampeau's are released ready to drink—there's no need to wait. This is the rare luxury of buying an already-aged Premier Cru.
Sommelier's Note
"Ampeau is one of Burgundy's great secrets—the ready-to-drink Premier Cru that makes everyone look like a perfectly-timed cellar master. Always check what vintage is being released; it's often a pleasant surprise."
