RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Herbal, mineral aromas give way to lime and hazelnut flavors, all backed by a vivid structure. It builds on the palate to a long, hazelnut and mineral aftertaste.

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Reticent aromas of lime, mint and vanillin oak. Perfumed and pure in the mouth, with rather steely flavors of soft citrus fruits and minerals. Finishes long, fine and bracing, with notes of orange and tangerine.

92Burghound.com

A fascinating nose blends pain grille, exotic and very ripe fruit plus a sexy spiciness and leads to utterly seductive, sappy, mouth coating, intense broad scaled flavors.

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.
