Vintage Character Thierry Pillot Meursault Premier Cru Les Genevrières 2022 comes from one of Meursault’s most revered Premier Cru climats, a site often counted among the appellation’s finest for its combination of finesse and depth. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely regarded as strong: a warm, sunny growing season delivered generous fruit, while timely freshness preserved balance, giving whites both charm and precision. In Genevrières, the limestone-rich soils and well-exposed mid-slope position help shape a Chardonnay of detail, lift, and mineral drive rather than simple richness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this wine typically shows lemon oil, white peach, pear, acacia blossom, and subtle hazelnut, layered with crushed stone and a light touch of flinty reduction. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with a silky, finely textured core, vibrant acidity, and a long, saline finish that underscores the vineyard’s elegance. Expect a style that is more tensile than opulent, making it especially appealing with roast turbot, veal in a light cream sauce, or lobster risotto.
Winery Background Thierry Pillot represents the new generation of Burgundy vignerons, drawing on deep family roots while pursuing a highly precise, purity-driven style under his own label alongside his work at Domaine Paul Pillot. He is known for harvesting relatively early to protect acidity and for using restrained oak influence, often favoring larger barrels so the vineyard character remains in the foreground. Careful élevage and a measured, low-intervention approach give his wines clarity and energy, and this tiny-production Genevrières stands out as a particularly refined expression of contemporary Meursault.
