Beautiful nose of white flowers and lemon jelly. The creamy-dreamy front of the medium- to full-bodied palate doesn't let you move on, but when you do the interplay of chalky minerality with richness is stunning. And right at the end the wine's stony side and an exciting touch of grapefruit bitterness show themselves beautifully. From two blocks that are 2.6 hectares in total. From organically grown grapes.

Still very youthful. Stacks of yellow fruits with a hint of butterscotch, but this is anything other than loud. Very impressive concentration and a wonderful balance of stony and creamy elements. Long, complete finish with underlying tannic power. From two plots, mid-slope and high altitude. Points: 94-95

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Bouchard is replanting a big block in this site, so the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a smaller cuvée than usual. Unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, fresh hazelnuts and ripe citrus, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a fleshy core of fruit that exhibits good concentration and cut. Points: 92-94

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is slightly more closed on the nose than the Les Goutte d'Or, revealing white peach and almond scents with time and a touch of grilled hazelnut. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, the saline finish lending tension. It needs time in bottle, but all the components are there. Points: 92-94
