Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 09 Jul 24
The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru leans towards a more reductive style on the nose with grilled walnut and light wax resin scents, gaining complexity as it unfurls in the glass. It doesn't possess the energy of Comte Lafon's Genevrières. The palate is forward and rich on the entry, slightly honeyed in texture with lower acidity, powerful and weighty in the mouth. After 20 minutes in the glass, it really delivers the complexity one expects from this climat. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Following hard on the heels of the Charmes, the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is also excellent, delivering aromas of pear, green apple, freshly baked bread, almonds and mint, framed by light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's suave and elegant, with excellent depth at the core, tangy acids and a long, precise finish.

Cask sample. Complex nose with a hint of smokiness and citrus zest. Long, lingering flavours on the palate with acidity and mineral notes keeping the plush fruit in check. Seriously classy (and almost too good to spit out)! (AWH)

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
