Tasting notes
One of the best wines I've tasted from this era of Dominique Lafon's career, the 1992 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières offers up a deep bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, mirabelle plums, honeycomb, white flowers, pastry cream and frangipane, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's fleshy and enveloping, with vibrant acids and a long, nicely defined finish. It's fully mature, so I'd be inclined to drink up.

The 1992 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru offers scents of dried honey and white truffle on the nose, a touch of grilled walnut and beeswax developing with time. The palate is very well balanced with a slight bitter edge on the entry, but you can forgive that because it is very well focused and certainly refined. I like the tension and energy here as it becomes spicier towards the finish with wild fennel and lemongrass. Maybe it does not have the charm or personality of the 1989 Genevrières, yet there is no denying that this has aged very well. Tasted at Carré des Feuillants restaurant in Paris.
Among the 1992 premier crus, the top wine is the exquisite, awesome 1992 Meursault-Les Genevrieres. It is a huge wine, with extraordinary richness, broad, intense flavors, magnificent length, and uncanny precision. This full-bodied, dazzling Meursault should turn out to be fabulous.
