The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières is utterly seductive, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, clear honey, toasted hazelnuts and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's suave and seamless, with an elegant, layered profile and terrific mid-palate volume. Everything about this wine seems effortless.

The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru has quite a powerful bouquet, although it doesn't quite possess the delineation and mineralité of the Les Vireuils that I tasted directly before it. Its bouquet highlights lemon curd, peach skin and light white flower scents, leaning toward the tropical side. The palate is lightly spiced, quite steely and more malic on the entry compared to other cuvées, but it has a vibrant, overtly peppery finish that lingers in the mouth like the other cuvées. This actually gains harmony with time in the glass so don't be afraid to afford this a couple of hours in a decanter.
