Henri Germain et Fils Meursault Limozin Blanc 2022

The “Limozin” vineyard sits in a rather enviable position, tucked directly beneath the hallowed ground of the Meursault Premier Crus Genevrières and Charmes. While it may carry a village-level designation, the 2022 from Henri Germain is a sophisticated overachiever that punches well above its weight class.

Jean-François Germain, a grower of immense humility and precision, is famous for his patient winemaking. In one of the coldest cellars in the village, fermentations move at a glacial pace, often stretching through the winter. This slow evolution, combined with the presence of 75-year-old vines, results in a white Burgundy of remarkable density and terroir transparency.

This is a bottle that rewards the patient; while it is undeniably delicious now with a short decant, it has the structural bones to evolve beautifully in your cellar for the next decade.
