Bouchard Pere & Fils, Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres 2022	96 James Suckling Beautiful nose of white flowers and lemon jelly. The creamy-dreamy front of the medium- to full-bodied palate doesn’t let you move on, but when you do the interplay of chalky minerality with richness is stunning. And right at the end the wine’s stony side and an exciting touch of grapefruit bitterness show themselves beautifully. From two blocks that are 2.6 hectares in total. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 92-94 Wine Advocate Bouchard is replanting a big block in this site, so the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a smaller cuvée than usual. Unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, fresh hazelnuts and ripe citrus, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a fleshy core of fruit that exhibits good concentration and cut. 92-94 Vinous The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is slightly more closed on the nose than the Les Goutte d’Or, revealing white peach and almond scents with time and a touch of grilled hazelnut. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, the saline finish lending tension. It needs time in bottle, but all the components are there	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
