The 1997 Meursault Genevrieres, aged in equal portions new and 1st year 350 liter barrels, displays super-ripe aromas of creamed hazelnuts and poached pears. It offers candied apples, apricots, mangoes, earth, allspice, and dried honey flavors. This medium-to-full-bodied and lavishly textured wine is surprisingly polished and stylish given its sur-maturite characteristics. Projected maturity: now-2004.
