Domaine Chavy-Chouet Les Genevrieres, Meursault Premier Cru 2024

The 2024 Domaine Chavy-Chouet Meursault Premier Cru Les Genevrières stands as a masterclass in tension and aromatic complexity, originating from a steep and rocky limestone parcel that is widely considered of Grand Cru quality. This wine open with an expressive nose of jasmine tea, orchard fruits, and a distinct citrus zest, all underpinned by a sophisticated hint of toasted hazelnut and a whisper of wild honey. On the palate, the wine exhibits a seamless balance between its rich, creamy weight and a vibrating core of saline acidity that drives a remarkably persistent and detailed finish. Crafted from low-yielding vines planted in 1945, this Chardonnay avoids heavy-handed oak influence to instead emphasize a crystalline purity and a stony minerality that will allow it to evolve gracefully in the cellar for over a decade.
