Wine Advocate (88)
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Genevrières has a terse, stony and stoic nose that demands encouragement. Almost Chablis-like but very well focused. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, but it needed the weight to back up this reserved linear style. Still, you can sit back and admire the saline finish that feels long in the mouth.Inc. TAX€1,707.07 -
Vinous (93)
Pale bright yellow. Pear, apple and stone on the nose. Juicy and intense on the palate, showing lovely energy and minerality. A major step up in intensity and length from the Charmes, displaying lovely definition and a saline quality. Offers a rather refined texture, with its harmonious acidity well supported by flesh. Finishes with good lingering fruit and stone flavors.Inc. TAX€161.33 -
Vinous (92+)
Orange zest and a positive balsamic hint on the aromatic nose. Sweet and plush but dry; this delivers the pliancy of a sunny vintage on entry, then turns more lemony and minerally on the back half. The finish boasts excellent texture and stony grip, calling for patience. The crop level was just 30 hectoliters per hectare, as there was more hail here than in Perrières.Inc. TAX€1,372.54 -

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières has a potent, personality-driven bouquet with conspicuous eucalyptus scents that give it an almost medicinal character, fortunately not so strong as to obscure the terroir. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed texture, a fine bead of acidity, modest weight in the mouth with veins of walnut and ginger toward the lively finish. This is one of the best wines from Michel Bouzereau in 2016, and it should give immense pleasure over the next decade.Inc. TAX€182.35 -

The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru comes from a single 0.52-hectare parcel. It boasts a more complex bouquet than the Les Charmes-Dessus, offering an enticing mélange of crushed stone, pineapple, tangerine and yellow plum; menthol scents emerge with time. The palate is very well balanced with an oily-textured opening. There is fabulous intensity here, and very fine acidity. Citrus fruit and white peach appear toward the persistent finish. Superb.Inc.

The 2019 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru is much more closed on the nose compared to the Les Charmes-Dessus, offering scents of lemon curd, patisserie, clementines and linseed oil.

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.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
Pale colour with a light green tint. This is more detailed but less intense on the nose, characteristics which continue on the palate. Delightful nuances, a good thread of ripe acidity, some ripe lemon notes towards the back of the palate. A wine that needs more reflection than the Charmes, but delivers. Only the style, not the quality separates them. Very long finish. Drink from 2028-2037.Inc. TAX€785.28 -

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.

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.

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.

(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.
