93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a taut and fresh, slightly flinty bouquet, touches of lemon balm and cough candy in the background. The palate is very well balanced with a fine acidic spice, a bitter edge here, quite saline with a persistent finish. Excellent. Closure: Diam. Drink: 2026-2042. (Dec 2021)"
93-94 points/'Very Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "Two Genevrieres; this is rare. The larger cuvee comes from a scant-hectare plot in the lower part of the vineyard. This is a lovely, vivid wine – classic Genevrieres – with nice intensity and mineral depth. It has the effortless, holistic feel of the 2020s, full of confidence as opposed to the sensual charm found in the 2019 whites. I love the 2020s, but am almost equally charmed by the ’19s. Drink from 2035. (6/2/22)"
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From a one hectare contract in the lower part of the vineyards, not their vines. Sensual seamless with a lovely long finish. A very smooth texture punctuated by little pin pricks of acidity. The detail of the fruit remains discreet but there is plenty of fruit in this. (Nov 2021)"
91-94 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "There is a suggestion of the exotic lurking in the background of the aromas of poached apple, acacia and spiced tea. I very much like the texture to the nicely dense medium-bodied flavors that possess a noticeably finer mouthfeel if not the same power on the bone-dry, stylish and impressively persistent finale. This also offer very fine quality in an ageworthy package. Drink: 2030+. (Jun 2022)"
