Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 91
The 2017 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru comes from two separate parcels. It shows a little reduction on the nose although it feels intense underneath, citrus and orange pith coming through with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with orange peel and light quince notes and more weight on the back end than the Charmes, and delivers good length. Very fine.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2034
Wine Advocate 93
Youthfully reticent aromas of crisp Anjou pear, blanched almonds, Meyer lemon and hints of praline introduce the 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres, a medium to full-bodied, deep and tensile wine that’s impressively concentrated and nicely defined. This confirms its strong showing from barrel; indeed, the wine has gained in tension since I tasted it in December. While it’s a little shut down after its recent bottling, it should drink very well with a bit of bottle age.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2040
