2022 Domaine MJ Tricot Meursault 1er Perrieres
A rare insider find, we have the last bottles of the much-loved 2022 Perrieres from Tricot! As we mentioned before, Tricot is technically a new domaine, founded in 2018 by Vincent Tricot; however, the family's roots in Meursault date back to 1848. Vincent's mother was a Ropiteau, a name many will recognize from the estate acquired by Bouchard, which gave them access to key parcels in Meursault. Today, Tricot remains closely tied to Bouchard: the Bouchard team manages the vineyard, oversees harvest, vinifies the wines, and bottles them, while Tricot receives a portion of the finished wine as payment, a common practice in Burgundy called a meteyage. A recent confirmation from a source in France stated that Tricot's Meursault Perrières is identical to Bouchard's Perrières, as there is only one harvest and vinification. In short, this is Bouchard's wine, just with a different label at a discount. Only the best lots are bottled under the Tricot name, meaning the wine can exceed that of Bouchard's bottling. This comes from a small parcel of 50-year-old vines in Perrières, one of Meursault's top crus, showing remarkable mineral precision and finesse with just 15% new oak, aged 10–12 months in Bouchard's cellar. Scores for the Bouchard version are BH 92-95, WA 92–94, JS 98-99, and DR 96, and are fully applicable here. These bottles are exceptionally rare, with our allocation being the only known stock currently available in the U.S. and coming directly from the domaine at excellent pricing. Don't miss the chance to grab one before it disappears again!
