The 2020 Perriers from Tricot received a lot of attention, and we sold out many times. While we don't have any more 2020, we were able to get some of the newly released 2022, which is another excellent rare find. As some might remember, Tricot is the source of Bouchard's Perrieres, and the Bouchard team makes the wines and manages the vineyard. Tricot gets a portion of the finished wine to sell under their label as payment. A source in France has confirmed to us that this is the exact same wine as Bouchard's Perrieres, as the team makes only a single harvest and fermentation from the vineyard. Consider this Bouchard Perrieres with a different label and about $40 less per bottle. So rare in the USA, we have the only bottles of this one currently available, and it is an insider buy for White Burgundy not to miss.
We were turned on to these wines by a friend in France who recommended them after trying the range, and we were intrigued when we learned that Bouchard was making the wines here. While this is technically a new Domaine started by Vincent Tricot in 2018, the family has been in Meursault as early as 1848. Vincent's father was a Tricot, and his mother was a Ropiteau, which many may know as an estate picked up by Bouchard a while back, gaining them access to a few Meursault wines.
Vincent uniquely created this project, and since his family owns many great vineyards and has a history with Bouchard, he has decided to keep that agreement and let Bouchard do the vineyard management, harvest, fermentation, and bottling, while Vincent sells the wines. However, only the best of the estate is bottled under the Tricot name, which means that this should be of a higher quality than Bouchard Perrieres.
Perrieres is one of the top crus from Tricot. Sourced from a small parcel of 50 years old, this is a highly mineral, pure, and finessed version of Perrieres and an overall classic interpretation of this prized vineyard. Only 15% new oak, the wine is aged in the Bouchard Cellars for 10 to 12 months until release. This is a spot-on example of Meursault Perrieres taking the lead over Bouchards Version at a lower price point. Right now, these wines are incredibly rare, and because we had an insider tip, we were able to get a limited amount, but as of now, these are the only bottles available in the world and are truly worth checking out.
