2019 Macon Les Genievrieres

The 2019 Mâcon-Cruzille Les Geniévrières is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, lemon oil, dried white flowers and warm bread. Medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of concentrated fruit that's framed by chalky dry extract and underpinned by tangy acids, it has turned out especially well. Perhaps that's because Guillot opted to extend élevage to a year in barrel and fully six months in tank.
