Description
Germain’s village blend is now sourced from seven lieux-dits, including the excellent Les Vireuils, Clos du Cromin and Les Pellans. Les Vireuils delivers the racy minerality, Cromin (on the Volnay hill) brings depth and power, while Les Pellans (right on the Puligny border) provides freshness. The other sites include Moulin à Judas (which may become a single release in the future) and Dressoles. The vines range between 15 and 70 years old. Again, good depth, racy freshness and powdery structure.
“The 2021 Meursault Village shows plenty of promise, revealing scents of pear, white flowers, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine with a racy spine of acidity, chalky structuring extract and a notably concentrated mid-palate.” - 89-91 Points, William Kelley robertparker.com
"This is also reduced though not so much that wisps of citrus can't be discerned and they are also reflected by the sleek and borderline painfully intense flavors that possess evident mid-palate density as well as excellent balance on the moderately austere, firm and serious finale. This is an impressive built-to-age old school Meursault." - 89-92 Points ♥ Allen Meadows burghound.com
