Boillot/Henri Meursault 1er cru Les Genevrières 2020

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): “The result is a bit closed initially, but with time the fruit begins to take shape – ripe pear, beeswax, mineral and marzipan. The texture is very subtle and elegant, retaining a surprising level of acidity that leads it to a lovely, lingering finish. Produced from a domaine-owned parcel of 0.16ha, the fruit is lightly crushed and pressed in a vertical press, prior to fermenting in cask (25% new) and ageing for 14 months. Drinking Window: 2025-2040. (Nov 2021)”

90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): “Fullish yellow, with a heady, honeyed richness. A little touch of bacon fat, more flesh in the mouth than I find ideal, then tightens up at the finish. Pears not peaches. Young vines here, the first to be picked, and they may have caught the sun just a fraction. (Oct 2021)”
