Fruit comes from 2 parcels within Chevalières, one is 10 years old, one is 50. The juice here is very fresh, there is texture and weight - saitisfying feel, but not too broad nor weighty. A fresh, clean and upbeat Meursault, defined by the vintage conditions. Drinking range: 2028 - 2032 L&S (Nov 2025)

The 2024 Meursault Les Chevalières, often one of my favourite crus from the Germain, is a blend of two plots. It has a focused, precise nose with subtle orchard fruit, hazelnut and waxy aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is quite reductive on the entry but there is decent weight and density here, quite sapid with a touch of lemongrass furnishing the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Drinking range: 2027 - 2045 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2026)
One plot has fifty-year-old vines, the other was planted in 2015. Racked and back to barrel, using older wood. An even lemon-yellow colour. Tightly concentrated with more of a backbone, fresh but ripe apple, and with a citrus acidity to finish. This will take time to unwind. Drinking range: 2029 - 2032 Rating: 90-93 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.

Chardonnay.
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.
