Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. A sexy essence of Meursault on the nose, offering aromas of lemon, lime, fresh apricot, pear, hazelnut and smoke. Thick and solid yet racy as well, with a strong element of salty minerality currently dominating in the middle palate. This seamless but very laid-back wine finishes with outstanding mounting length.

An overtly smoky nose features exotically spiced aromas of tea, pear, apple and acacia blossom. The beautifully detailed, stony and delicious flavors possess a highly sophisticated mouth feel before concluding in a beautifully persistent finish. A classic Genevrières of style and grace.
Suitably broad and ripe in style, but more lean and precise than the buttery Meursaults of old. Tense, vivid, flavoursome. (RH)
