- TASTING NOTE: “A blend of several sites around Chassagne, the 2023 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc has a slightly resinous bouquet. The palate is fresh with a citric edge on the entry and good tension. This is a quite pithy Bourgogne Côte d'Or but with impressive persistence on the finish. Very fine.” 89-90 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: This is outstanding for its level. It comes from around a hectare of vines spread over four Meursault and Chassagne terroirs, including Les Belles Côtes (just below Les Chevalières) and Petit Clos (a true clos, right next to the winery in the centre of Meursault).

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Henri Germain established this benchmark Meursault estate in 1973. It is now run by second-generation Jean-François Germain and his daughter Lucie. They farm just under eight hectares of mostly Chardonnay vines (with a couple of hectares of Pinot Noir) in predominantly limestone soils around Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and Beaune. Most of the production is 1er Cru Meursault from prized sites, including Les Perrierès, Les Poruzots and Les Charmes. Viticulture is organic and biodynamic. The range includes Bourgogne Chardonnay, three village and three 1er Cru Meursaults, a 1er Cru Chassagne and an Aligoté, as well as four reds: Bourgogne, Chassagne and Meursault village and a 1er Cru Beaune.
