Hints of matchstick and exotic tea add breadth to the ripe and very pretty white flower and orchard fruit scented nose...elegant middle weight flavors... concluding in a lightly stony, sleek and impressively focused and persistent finish.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

An aroma of peach nectar is enlivened by a brisk gingery quality. Thick, rich and sweet but with superb framing acidity. Quite glyceral and rich...but has the harmonious acidity to maintain its shape, balance. A serious mouthful of wine.

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.
