Grapefruit nose, a tight tangy citrus middle, juicy and mouth watering. Tangy and bright, long too on this energetic fruit. Drinking range: 2022 - 2030 L&S (Oct 2020)

Old vines from 1937. Light primrose colour with a bustling fruit energy. Fills out well behind, this has a liveliness which matches the intensity of the fresh plum fruit, with very good length behind. Lemon zest through to a piercing long finish. Rating: **** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Mar 2022)
(from 80+ year old vines below Genevrières). A slightly riper blend is comprised by notes of pear and apple compote along with pretty floral and more prominent spice wisps that include a hint of exotic tea. There is good precision to the refined and almost painfully intense middle weight flavors that are more voluminous if a bit less mineral-driven on the bracing bitter lemon infused finale. The underlying tension already makes this a pleasure to drink but more depth should develop over the mid-term. In sum, this is a first-rate, indeed even classy, Meursault villages. Drinking range: 2026 - Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2021)
The 2019 Meursault Le Limozin is superb, mingling aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, almond paste and pastry cream with hints of white flowers and mint. Medium to full-bodied, textural and precise, it combines impressive mid-palate volume with terrific cut. This will be well worth seeking out. Rating: 91-93 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
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.
