Vinous (92)The 2015 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a crisp, precise bouquet of Granny Smith apples, crushed stone and a touch of citrus peel. The palate is well-defined, with blood orange, peach and light nougat notes derived from oak that is neatly subsumed. There is a touch of ginger surfacing toward the finish, and long persistence. A lively Perrières that is, for want of a better expression, full of beans. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières derives from a parcel situated next to Grivault's Clos des Perrières. Unwinding in the glass with scents of musky peach, white flowers, fresh pear and nutmeg, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with fine tension at the core, racy acids and a long, mineral finish. |

Vinous (94)The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a very pretty bouquet with vivacious yellow plum, orange pith and crushed stone aromas that gain complexity in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that keeps this on its toes. Hints of lime and orange zest combine with wonderful salinity on the finish that feels very persistent. Excellent.

Vinous (94)The 2018 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has quite an intense, well-defined nose, with touches of fennel and garrigues infusing the citrus fruit. Just a hint of melon surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, somehow, a little conservative compared to its peers. However, there is fine salinity and it seems to linger long on the finish. Very fine - Charmes with charm. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. |

Vinous (92)(from 70-year-old vines): Pale bright yellow. Subtle scents of orange zest, flowers and high-pitched brown spices. Tangy and alive; less broad but more focused and intense than the Charmes. A lovely energetic Meursault with good saline minerality and extract. Finishes with a subtle, slowly building whiplash of a finish. This very fresh style of Genevrières is tighter and less sweet than the Charmes. |

Vinous (91)The 2015 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a pretty orange blossom and citrus bouquet that is neatly entwined with the oak. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with a fine line of acidity, taut and linear but tightly coiled toward the finish. I suspect this Meursault has more to give for those with the nous to cellar this for three or four years. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (90)The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru feels a little more muted than its peers, maybe just lacks the same degree of amplitude. The palate is balanced with good extraction. Slightly honeyed in style, with plenty of substance, it does not quite deliver the tension and mineralité of its peers. Perhaps one of the earlier drinking Genevrières.

The kind of Meursault that makes you smile like a Cheshire cat. |
