Vinous: 94-96 Points
The 2022 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a lively bouquet walnut and flint infusing the citrus fruit with hints of quince in the background. This has got it going on (aromatically). The palate is just fabulous very vivacious with

? Sweet spot Outstanding Producer note: Antoine Jobard noted that the 2022 "growing season was hot dry and largely clement and without undue disease pressure so compared to 2021 for example we had it relatively easy. We picked from the 25th to the 31st of August and brought in virtually spotless fruit that had good yields. Potential alcohols were strong without being high as everything came in between 13 and 13.5%. The acidities were at best average so I did no lees stirring as preserving the freshness and energy were clearly priorities for this style of vintage. As to the wines they're definitely rich but fresh and vibrant with surprisingly good terroir transparency. I would describe them as a mix of the 2017 and 2019 vintages with the verve of '17 but less alcohol than '19. It's the kind of vintage that should allow for early accessibility but have no trouble aging." In a change Jobard explained that he has chosen to begin using the Diam brand composite cork for all of his whites. As the ratings and commentaries confirm I was very impressed by the excellent results that Jobard achieved in 2022 and these are definitely wines to consider adding to your cellars. Lastly fans of the domaine aren't imagining things as there is indeed a new wine in the range in the form of the Goutte d'Or. In yet one more change several Meursault villages wines that were separately declared in previous years have now been combined - see below for more detail.

Tasting note: This is also airy and cool with a beautifully layered nose featuring notes of green apple white flowers and a discreet hint of exotic tea. The almost painfully intense sleek and tension-filled flavors display beautiful cut and minerality while delivering superb length on the chiseled linear and youthfully austere finale. This is seriously impressive with fine depth and length indeed this is altogether classy. If you can find it buy it.
