Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum from Rémi Jobard

General information

Rémi Jobard, whose family vineyards date back to the 16th century, embodies the classic Burgundy tradition with contemporary precision. The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières from the magnum bottle represents one of the region's most sought-after Premier Crus, whose chalky soils lend the Chardonnay a special minerality. The philosophy of minimal intervention - with only 20% new oak barrels and the use of 600-litre Stockinger barrels - is evident in every aspect of this wine.

Colour & appearance

In the glass, it is a bright, pale golden yellow with greenish reflections that reflect the youth and freshness of this 2022 vintage. The viscosity already hints at the concentrated structure.

Nose

The aroma unfolds in a complex and precise manner: First of all, there are white flowers, Citrus fruits and green applefollowed by subtle notes of Hazelnut, white peach and a touch of Flintstone. The restrained integration of wood gives the wine a subtle flavour without masking the fruit - a testament to Jobard's craftsmanship.

Palate

The palate reveals an impressive combination of power and elegance. The vibrant acidity of the 2022 vintage gives the wine a precise backbone, while the creamy texture provides volume. The mineral character of the Genevrières terroir is evident in a salty component that accompanies the long, complex finish. Lemon zest, white pepper and Brioche-notes complete the flavour profile.

Food pairing suggestions

The precision and complexity of this wine harmonises perfectly with Lobster, Scallops in butter or Sweetbreads. Also to Poultry in a light-coloured sauce or matured Comté cheese it makes a perfect accompaniment.

Special features

The magnum bottle offers this wine ideal conditions for slow, harmonious ageing. Whilst it is already a pleasure to drink, it will continue to develop and gain in complexity over the next 10-15 years. The unfiltered maturation and long barrel ageing over two winters give the wine a natural stability and depth that make it an authentic expression of the Meursault terroir.
