is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The 2022 Genot-Boulanger Meursault “Clos du Cromin” is a luxurious and elegant Chardonnay that captures the essence of Meursault’s renowned terroir. Genot-Boulanger, a family estate celebrated for their organic practices and dedication to quality, delivers a beautifully balanced wine that highlights the richness and complexity of the “Clos du Cromin” vineyard. This site, with its limestone-rich soils and slightly cooler microclimate, contributes to the wine’s precision and depth.
In the glass, the wine exhibits a radiant pale gold color. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe yellow apple, white peach, and lemon zest, complemented by floral notes of acacia, a touch of hazelnut, and subtle hints of vanilla and flint. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a creamy texture supported by lively acidity. Flavors of orchard fruits and citrus unfold alongside a distinct mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant finish with whispers of honey and wet stone.
The 2022 vintage, characterized by warm and consistent weather, imparts a ripe and generous character to this wine while maintaining its hallmark freshness and vibrancy. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as seared scallops, roasted poultry, or creamy pasta with mushrooms. While delightful to enjoy now for its opulent fruit and refined texture, this Meursault has the structure to age gracefully over the next 8–10 years, revealing additional complexity and nuance. Genot-Boulanger’s “Clos du Cromin” is a shining example of their skill in crafting wines that combine richness with finesse, making it a rewarding choice for lovers of classic white Burgundy.
