Few will need reminding that Les Genevrières is one of Meursault’s greatest terroirs, arguably the finest after Les Perrières. This is drawn from two old-vine parcels in the gravelly limestone of the lower part (Dessous) of Genevrières. The two parcels add up to a single hectare, making this Leroux’s largest 1er Cru. Previous incarnations have been labelled Genevrières-Dessous. This caused confusion with the Domaine bottling from Genevrières-Dessus in the past, so Leroux has decided to simply label this wine Genevrières. The 2022 is also the second-last vintage because these vines were replanted after the 2023 harvest. This was the first wine to be picked in 2022 (with the Bâtard), and you see why—it is a rich, powerful expression of the site and one of the more hedonistic whites in the range.

“The 2022 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet than the Les Charmes-Dessus, gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The well-balanced palate has a slightly creamy texture, harmonious with grilled hazelnut and almond. There’s a touch of vanilla pod towards the finish from the oak that will be subsumed with time. Very fine.” 92-94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
