RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

White stone fruits, crushed rocks and slate frame the persistent, multi-dimensional finish. This is a fabulous effort from Jadot.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Richer, suppler and fleshier than the Charmes; broad and fine-grained but still quite dry in the mid-palate. Best today on the rising, slightly bitter-edged finish, which shows solid acidity and very good length. 91

90Wine Spectator

Peach, apple and honey flavors are framed with vanilla, nutmeg and clove notes in this ample, fleshy white. Moderate intensity and acidity keep this pulsing through the finish.

89-92Burghound.com

A mildly exotic nose of spiced pear, apricot and intense floral notes leads to rich and beautifully well-detailed flavors that exhibit discreet notes of minerality and a hint of bitterness on the palate staining finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault, Les Genevrieres

Les Genevrieres is 41-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Meursault, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is in the southern part of the appellation, and just to the north of Les Perrieres and Les Charmes. Burgundy writer Clive Coates says that “Genevrieres is an opulent, even exotic wine. It is rounder than Perrieres and if not fuller, then certainly lusher…Here flavors are muskier, and there can be an element of citrus.” Since Meursault lacks a Grand Cru, Meursault’s reputation for excellence is based on the Premier Crus, particularly the whites.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
