Beautiful aromas of brioche, pastry and subtle yeast lead into a remarkably complete palate. Huge flavor and concentration without heaviness, driven by tremendous salinity and one of the finest mousses imaginable. Long, sapid and profoundly elegant. — 6 days ago

Deep and feral. Blood and granite all over the nose, along with cracked black peppercorns and dry aged beef. Pretty large-framed for a Saint Joe on the palate. Savory, iron and granite. Still some tannin to shed. I’d thought this would be further along than it is, but it’s got promises to keep and miles to go before it sleeps. — 3 months ago

Paired perfectly with NY Strip, garlic mashed potato, steamed broccoli lovingly/brilliantly ( if I do say so myself) cooked at home. Came by this wine at Substrate’s 2nd gathering of the wine club. Brilliant Cab Franc. Pepper both white and green. Dark cherry. Balanced tannin. This is one to seek out. from — a year ago

Loads of sulphidic funk - struck match reduction. Under ripe stone fruit palate showing minerality, citrus and balanced oak. A classy Premier Cru Meursault from Jobard. — 4 years ago

A thrilling expression of Champagne’s forgotten varieties. Electric acidity, astonishing purity and breathtaking finesse. Dense yet feather-light, with extraordinary sapidity, epic length and an unbelievably refined mousse. Completely distinctive. — 6 days ago

A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016. — 3 months ago

Words almost fail here. Monumentally fine and utterly complete, combining substance with incredible elegance and purity. Everything is perfectly integrated. One of those Champagnes that simply feels inevitable from first sip to last. — 6 days ago

9.5

The 2017 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is neutral on the nose, sultry but not sullen, maintaining delineation and focus, with crushed stone and light smoky aromas developing over time; it does become a little reduced. The palate is well balanced with a salty, basalt-tinged entry. There is plenty of energy and superb acidity, leading to a vibrant, spicy, persistent finish. This fans out gloriously. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)
