Boyer-Martenot, Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru 2022

Genevrières ranks among the grandest of Meursault's premier crus, a site of opulence and length, and Boyer-Martenot farms it with a sure, traditional hand. Expect Chardonnay of richness held in check by minerality, the full Meursault experience. The 2022 vintage is generous, deep and impeccably balanced, premier cru with breadth and class.

Gleaming gold in the glass, exhaling roasted hazelnut, ripe pear, acacia honey and warm buttered toast. The palate is broad and creamy, ripe orchard fruit and lemon curd cushioned by a silky texture, yet lifted by saline mineral cut and fine acidity. Almond, spice and a flinty thread carry a long, mouth-coating finish. Opulent Meursault with grand cru ambition.
