Tasting notes
The 2019 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru shows a slight reduction on the nose (like a couple of others) underneath crisp, delineated citrus fruit, crushed stone and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly viscous opening, lightly spiced with ginger and lemongrass. It has a gentle grip with a saline, Charmes-like finish that lingers. However, it does seem to fade and lose just a bit of definition with time. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru, which comes from 85-year-old vines, has an expressive, almost Charmes-like bouquet, wild honey mixed with heather and hints of chamomile. The oak is neatly enmeshed. The palate is very well balanced, one of the most elegant and poised contributions from this Premier Cru, offering touches of orange pith and white peach mixed with hazelnut toward the finish. The kind of Meursault that makes you smile like a Cheshire cat.
