A deeper richer nose than the village Meursault, and the palate shows spice and depth too. Really sparkling definition. Juicy, lively finish, green fruit and freshness. L&S (Dec 2010)

Very winning because it already exhibits so many different aromas! Some subtle but exotic undergrowth mainly. Tropical flowers? Yet there is sufficient acidity and structure – in fact it’s a bit painful to drink at this early stage (= good). Strong citrus peel streak. 2015-2020 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2011)
The attack is lemony and fruit-driven. It is quite appealing with fair intensity for village wine. The acidity (including some malic) makes it quite lifted and there are some attractive savoury and stone elements. It is not easy to taste as it has unfermented sugar as well as malic, but the finish is decent. Potentially good+. From 2012Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Jan 2011)
Domaine Henri Germain
Jean-François Germain was joined in 2018 by his daughter Lucie - who is now helping to run this small (7ha) domaine.
The Chassagne vineyards came through his mother, a Pillot, and Jean-François is married to François Jobard's daughter, so they are quite intertwined with some of our other producers. The Poruzots comes from the rows next to Remi Jobard's. In terms of winemaking the Germains are always happy to let nature take its course, and in the vineyards they follow as natural a system of viticulture as possible (organic, not certified).
These are concentrated, tightly wound wines from one of Burgundy's coldest cellars. Alcoholic fermentations can take months and the malolactics are often late, so they have always gone for long élevage in old barrels, always for two winters, and the Premiers Crus usually for 22 months. Slow to develop, they show wonderful crystalline purity. New wood is used very sparingly, just to replace barrels sold when they get to ten years old.
