Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a powerful Charmes-like bouquet, leaning towards a richer style with more yellow fruit compared to Benjamin Leroux's own Genevrières. Yet it retains delineation. The palate is vibrant and quite intense with plenty going on in this Meursault, culminating in a spicy and energetic finish. Again, this exhibits fine sapidity and urges you back for another sip. Superb. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2022 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has an intense, minerally bouquet with touches of chalk, yellow plum and light blood orange aromas. The palate is well-balanced, one of Bouzereau's more powerful cuvées with impressive persistence and a sapid aftertaste. The pedigree of the terroir really comes through in this Meursault. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru comes from two parcels, 20% in Perrières-Dessus planted in 1955 and another part, 80% of the parcel, planted back in 1938. It has a very intense bouquet, like the Genevrières, featuring walnut, linseed oil and light white peach aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. As Perrières should be, this is taut, linear and powerful, with hints of fresh grapefruit, tangerine and peach appearing toward the persistent finish. A superb Perrières, but does it possess the charm of the Genevrières? |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru has a tight, focused nose of gunflint and gravel, expressing this noble vineyard extremely well in the sense that it could not be from anywhere else. The palate is well balanced with touches of orange peel, ginger and light savory notes on the entry. Quite a phenolically driven Perrières, it has wonderful length, even if it does not quite have the clinical precision of, say, Dominique Lafon’s own Perrières. Still, this is a well-crafted, quite sublime Meursault. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru has a slightly richer bouquet compared to Bouzereau’s other cuvées, presenting dried honey and orange pith scents plus honeysuckle and beeswax. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and full of energy. The vibrant citrus/lime finish fans out wonderfully and the spicy aftertaste is one of the longest I have found on this particular cuvée. Superb. |

Burgundy | 3 | 88-90 (VN) | HK$4,115.00 | |||||
Vinous (88-90)(as with the Bourgogne Blanc, half of this wine is aging in 500-liter barrels): Bright yellow. Classic Meursault nose combines peach, fresh apricot, spices and hazelnut. Yellow fruit flavors are complicated by saline soil tones and nicely framed by ripe acidity. A bit firmer on the finish than the Bourgogne Blanc but also has more punch. (Compared to this wine, the fruit was a bit too ripe in the '16, according to Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau.) |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Meursault Les Grands Charrons, half matured in 500-liter barrels with 20% new oak, has an attractive bouquet of almond, quince and light pressed white flower aromas, plus a light buttery note in the background. The palate is taut and delineated on the entry, featuring lovely orange zest and tangerine notes, and becomes more lime-driven toward the finish, leaving noisettes on the aftertaste. Excellent. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2019 Meursault Les Grands Charrons, also taken from tank, has a well-defined bouquet of citrus fruit infused with touches of yellow flower; hints of apricot blossom emerge with time. The palate is well balanced with a brisk, citrus- and lime-tinged entry. Taut at the moment, but there is palpable energy here, and a persistent, ginger-infused finish. Excellent. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Meursault Les Grands Charrons is raised half in demi-muids and half in traditional Burgundy barrels with around 20% new oak. This is a little resinous on the nose, touches of beeswax and honeysuckle, needing a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, just the right amount of bitterness with stem ginger towards the spicy finish. Lovely. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2021 Meursault Les Grands Charrons has a charming bouquet with yellow plum, vanilla pod and light apricot blossom scents, quite Charmes-like in style. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, slightly tangy entry, orange rind and hints of mango, vibrant in style with a brisk and breezy, elegant finish. Lovely, but I would enjoy this over the first ten years of its life. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2022 Meursault Les Grands Charrons, matured in 20% new oak, has quite an engaging bouquet, with hints of wild fennel and mint infusing citrus fruit. Impressive delineation. The palate is well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity. Linear in style, there is no peacock's tail towards the finish, but plenty of spiciness, a touch of Szechuan pepper leaving the mouth tingling on the aftertaste. Recommended. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-92)Fine pale colour, slightly more savoury on the nose eschewing the plumpness of the first Bourgogne. Very nicely balanced, a bit more white fruit here than the riper yellow notes, with a long finish with an agreeable slightly creamy texture. Planting dates if you are interested: 1992/1982/1960/1947. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89-91)The 2023 Meursault Limozin sports some reduction on the nose, with touches of beeswax and chamomile gradually emerging and joining the orchard fruit. The palate is balanced with a keen thread of acidity and a pleasing frisson on the finish. There is a little more tension and detail than the Les Grands Chartron. Promising. |

Vinous (88-90)(the estate carried out three different élevages for this wine, one of them using Hungarian oak): Bright, light yellow. A note of noble reduction to the aromas of white peach, clove and musky minerals. Supple and juicy, conveying an impression of sucrosité to its dried fruit, almond paste and spice flavors. But this wine is fully dry. Finishes tactile and persistent, with a saline quality and a faint bitter edge. |

Vinous (91-93)(from vines picked near the beginning of the harvest; just about finished with its malolactic fermentation): Pale yellow color. Aromas of peach, white pepper and menthol. Nicely concentrated flavors of pineapple, stone fruits, clove and saline minerality juxtapose a subtle savory character with a sexy touch of sweetness. A step up in texture and length from Michelot's Meursault Charmes, which was quite silky, ripe and high-toned at the time of my visit but had barely started its malolactic fermentation. A tad phenolic on the back end. |
