Second bottle from a half case purchased from the Dutch importer in 2021. A classical Meursault, both in weight and style and in flavours. Elegant and understated. Well-formed, well-balanced and at ease with itself, apple and ripe citrus (bergamot), almond rather than hazelnut, frangipane, silky texture, well-judged savoury oak, subtly layered finish, very good length. Everything in the right place, elegant. Drink now - 2029.

Not sure I've ever had a bad H. Germain. This is beautiful villages Meursault, with intense yellow fruits in a well-balanced package. Bright but not lean. Germain is one of the last remaining White Burg sleepers.

Day 1: decanted half the bottle. Moderate+ aromas of fresh orchard fruit, flowers and a hint of reduction. Similar ripe, yet fresh flavors. Medium+ suave body. Enjoyable now with 30+ minute decant, but clearly some structure for aging over the mid term (2028+). Recorked and returned to the refrigerator. Day 5: more depth and balance. Great QPR. 92+.

Very Meursault. A very well made and well balanced wine. A way better value than some of the more hyped meursaults out there. Improves with air.
