Michael Schuster | Pale yellow-gold; light, floral, fragrant Sauvignon; very nicely balanced, supple, fresh to lively; rich, dry, vital, a very sappy Sauvignon flavor, with a lively defining acidity, long and linear and fine, elegant, restrained, subtly mineral in aromas, with a lovely length of flavor and aromatic persistence. This has a wonderful fruit, and should age beautifully. For the second year running, a fine white Carbonnieux. The wonderful 2019 (retasted in April 2021, just after bottling and just as exciting as a year ago) was made by a Perrin for the first time, Eric’s son Andrea. Andrea has winemaking experience in Burgundy, the Rhône, and Argentina, but wherever it had been, he clearly has “winemaking hands and palate”! So, his presence is great news for the family, the terroir, and the wines. (After considerable premox problems, the white has been bottled under Diam for several years. But they are thinking of bottling some 2020 under cork again because of a very reductive fermentation. Only time would tell whether that were wise.) 2022–35+.
