Jasper Morris, 94-97 Points 

“Pure lemon and lime. Masterful discretion here, restrained at first on the nose but shows an inkling of what is to follow. All about delicacy and detail, not too tangy, then the fruit swells on the palate, very nuanced, hard to imagine making this any better. Minerals and fresh lime notes appear at the back in the exceptionally persistent finish.” 

Vinous, 93-95 Points 

“The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru is crisp and precise on the nose, just as mineral-driven as the Charmes though there is a little more flintiness here. The palate has exquisite balance and poise, citrus peel and lime, very good weight towards the finish with hazelnut and fumé notes on the long and (again) spicy finish. Excellent.” 

Burghound, 92-94 Points 

“While compositionally similar to the Charmes, this is notably spicier while offering a hint of exotic tea as well. The pure, energetic and strikingly textured middle weight flavors brim with both minerality and dry extract on the balanced, youthfully austere and stony finale. This impressively persistent and very stylish effort is a wine of finesse and it too should amply reward mid to perhaps even longer-term cellaring. *Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*”
