Decanter: 93 Points

This fine terroir abuts Santenots. The former quarry has stony clay soils over solid limestone slabs giving the wine a pronounced mineral expression. The aromas are lime and nectarine with hints of white flowers and there is a precision to the fruit that is very engaging. The domaine has almost 1.5ha here surrounded by the walls of the clos. Despite the fresh mineral nature of the wine it is eminently approachable young. (Drink between 2025 - 2045)

Vinous: 89-91 Points

The 2022 Meursault Clos du Cromin was picked on the first day of harvest over two days. It has a well-defined nose with a reductive element that works to its advantage. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly honeyed texture. There?s plenty of extract here before easing off the accelerator towards the more refined finish. It should give a decade's worth of drinking pleasure. (Drink between 2025 - 2035)

Jasper Morris: 89-92 Points

Fresh pale colour white fruit on the nose fair ripeness. 10-15% new wood. A mix between the style of the appellation and the lemon asperity of the wines chez Génot-Boulanger this year. Apples and lemons at the finish. Guillaume thinks that it is important to pick this vineyard promptly as it heads into over-ripeness rapidly.
