Tasting notes
The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a taut, linear bouquet that demands more encouragement from the glass. I admire the focus and terroir expression here, though it is definitely muted at present. The palate is balanced with a slightly sour entry, modest weight, maybe just missing the grip of the finest wines of the flight with a touch of heat that mars the finish. It is difficult to see how this will evolve but given its showing out of barrel, I add a plus sign as an indication of my optimism. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru comes from a single 0.52-hectare parcel. It boasts a more complex bouquet than the Les Charmes-Dessus, offering an enticing mélange of crushed stone, pineapple, tangerine and yellow plum; menthol scents emerge with time. The palate is very well balanced with an oily-textured opening. There is fabulous intensity here, and very fine acidity. Citrus fruit and white peach appear toward the persistent finish. Superb.
