After tasting the Charmes - there is more weight and ripeness to fruit here - still pert and bright - but more rounded and full. There's depth and power in spades. Warm lemon and pretty white flowers. Then some nice Meursault intensity. Bright, long finish. Drinking range: 2030 - 2035 L&S (Nov 2025)

The 2024 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a clean and precise, chalky/flinty bouquet that is more minimalist compared to Les Charmes, as you would expect, though delivers in terms of the delineation. The palate is taut on the entry, a little waxy in texture, pithy perhaps, a keen line of acidity keeping this on its toes with an overtly peppery finish that lingers in the mouth. Classy. Drinking range: 2028 - 2048 Rating: 93-95 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2026)
A full yellow, plenty of oak on the nose, this has significantly more volume in all departments – as you might expect. This holds true on the palate as well. A little touch of coconut, lively rather than trenchant acidity, the fruit fresh but ripe, with generosity. ****. Drinking range: 2030 - 2036 Rating: 95-96 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Oct 2025)
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.

A 'quiet' gentle nose with a scent not unlike oatmeal. More refined that the Narvaux, it's all about tension and length, with a very citrussy acidity giving prodigious length.

Lovely. Great acidity, super fruit - this is poised and graceful. Good drive too - not a heavyweight - but pretty with a concentrated core. Sometimes this is very much a broader 'Goutte d'Or' inflected release - reflecti...(read more)
