Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru comes from a single block of a half-hectare parcel of vines planted in the 1950s and young vines planted in 2009. It has a pleasant bouquet with apple blossom and honeysuckle aromas emerging from the glass. I would like to see more terroir expression here. The palate is nicely balanced, the spicy entry (lemongrass and ginger) leading to a weighty, concentrated, powerful finish that lacquers the mouth. Give this three or four years once in bottle. [Tasted twice, once at the Domaine and then in the UK.] |

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru is quite backward on the nose, opening gradually with petrichor and green apple scents. The palate is very well balanced with fine acidity, quite tangy and spicy with a vibrant and quite pesistent finish. This has great potential. Excellent. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2022 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru had a lot of reduction when I tasted it from barrel, though its intensity was clear. The palate is very promising: wonderful tension here, steely and spicier than the Meursault Village, with touches of fennel and white pepper on the finish. Quite feisty and surely one for long-term aging. |

Vinous (90+)(Jobard lost 40% of the crop here as both his lowest and highest vines were affected by frost; he described this as the worst frost year in this cru since 1981): Ripe yellow fruits and spices on the nose; a bit less floral than the Blagny. Sappier than the Blagny, showing good citrussy energy and a savory quality. Nicely concentrated but less refined and elegant than the Blagny. Finishes a tad spiky and phenolic, in need of time to find its ultimate harmony. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2023 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet at first, opening with sea cave and almost flinty scents. The palate is vibrant and citrus-fresh with a fine line of acidity and a vibrant saline finish that fans out beautifully. What a superb Meursault from Jobard—highly recommended. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2019 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru is well defined and crisp on the nose of yellow plum mixed with honeysuckle and hazelnut, more Meursault character coming though compared to the Poruzots at the moment. The palate is fresh and focused, very expressive, with some gorgeous orange pith and peach skin notes coming through on the finish, flanked by hazelnut and grilled walnut. Excellent. |
