Ballot-Millot, Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres, 2022

Ballot-Millot is on fire right now, and this 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is exhibit A. It’s Meursault with all the polish you’d expect—but leaner, more lifted, and crazy mineral, thanks to both the site and the producer’s steady hand. Genevrières is one of the most elegant crus in the village—floral, fine, and more about finesse than heft. Ballot-Millot lets that shine through with minimal oak influence, tight acid lines, and a texture that’s creamy without being heavy. You get ripe citrus, toasted hazelnut, white flowers, and a long, salty finish that just keeps going. The 2022 vintage gave them beautifully ripe fruit, but they kept the wine snappy and focused. It’s Meursault for people who love white Burgundy with tension—not butter bombs. Drink it with scallops, roast chicken, or anything where lemon, herbs, and a touch of richness would be right at home. Or just cellar it and watch it get even better.
