Score 16/20 · Drink 2012-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2009
50% new oak because they are just starting out. Relatively light nose still rather overwhelmed by sweet new oak. Pretty tight oak tannins on the finish too. Nicolas Potel thinks it’s a great year for Genevrières but at the moment it’s difficult to discern it! Lemon blossom comes on the finish. (JR)
