The 2022 Domaine Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a distinguished Chardonnay from a small 0.7-hectare parcel in Genevrières Dessous, next to the historic cabotte. The vines are around 35 years old and derive from mass-selected material planted in the 1960s, producing consistently well-formed fruit with excellent natural acidity. The wine shows refined white peach, apricot and citrus alongside spring flowers, green apple, subtle walnut, flint and a gentle herbal note.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably precise, with vibrant acidity carrying layers of citrus, white peach, apricot and ripe orchard fruit. Floral notes and delicate baking spice add aromatic complexity, while flint, chalky mineral and subtle saline characters provide tension and length. A gently savoury, almost nutty nuance develops through the mid-palate, giving the wine additional depth without sacrificing its clarity and energy. The texture is generous and polished, with a tightly focused core leading into an exceptionally long, dry and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for serious Burgundy Chardonnay drinkers and collectors seeking a Meursault Premier Cru with both richness and remarkable precision. The 2022 vintage is still youthful, and its concentration, acidity and mineral structure should allow it to develop greater honeyed, nutty, savoury and tertiary complexity with time. Best enjoyed from around 2030–2040. Serve lightly chilled with butter-poached marron, seared scallops with brown butter, grilled turbot with beurre blanc, roast chicken with morels, lobster, or mushroom and truffle risotto.
