Buying options
Tasting Notes
The Cuvée pays tribute to the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon (1419-1467), who gave his support when Nicolas Rolin, his Chancellor, decided to build the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune in 1443. In the South of the Meursault appellation, the Genevrières cover about 16.5 hectares. It is the “Dessous” which make up 75% of this Cuvée. The limestone gravels rest on a rock of fissured plates, optimal for the storage of water and the installation of the root system. The resulting wine is often powerful and refined, with a silky texture and good body, both of which indicate good ageing potential.
