Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Mid lemon yellow, with some warmth to the nose. On the palate there is a delicious depth of quality fruit with a little bit of mirabelle, but with a wave of slightly different flavours and a mineral touch to finish. Drink from 2028-2034. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru, which comes from 85-year-old vines, has an expressive, almost Charmes-like bouquet, wild honey mixed with heather and hints of chamomile. The oak is neatly enmeshed. The palate is very well balanced, one of the most elegant and poised contributions from this Premier Cru, offering touches of orange pith and white peach mixed with hazelnut toward the finish. The kind of Meursault that makes you smile like a Cheshire cat. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (96)The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru has a gorgeous nose, so nuanced with hints of pressed white flower and wet limestone filtering through the citrus fruit. Wonderful minéralité, though it is never a "showy" Genevrières. The palate is well balanced with a touch of wild honey on the entry, subtle notes of clementine and tinned peach lead to a very nuanced, very tender and persistent finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Crafted in Meursault, Burgundy's famed white wine region, the Ballot Millot Meursault 1er Cru Boucheres 2018 is a paramount expression of Chardonnay. This remarkable white wine comes from the Boucheres vineyard, a Premier Cru classified plot known for its exceptional terroir. Ballot Millot, a family-run domaine that has been meticulously cultivating vines since the 17th century, utilises a minimalist, non-interventionist approach. Fermented in French oak barrels, this 2018 vintage balances beautifully integrated wood with an intriguingly assertive minerality. Scents of pear, apple, citrus and vanilla burst forth, while the palate is filled with peach, nougat and rounded out with a splendidly creamy finish. Ageing potential is undeniable, promising enhanced complexity with time. The Ballot Millot Meursault 1er Cru Boucheres 2018 is a testament to refined viticulture and enology, offering enthusiasts an unmatched foray into Burgundian opulence. |
