The 2005 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres has a crystalline bouquet with subtle scents of white peach, fresh apricot, lemon thyme and liquid minerals. These are not potent aromas – Genevrieres is more about understatement and enthralling delineation. The palate is almost perfectly balanced with unnoticeable acidity, just traces of clear honey and quince that define a persistent, weightless finish that seems to go on longer than forever. This is just a glorious Meursault verging on being too delicious to cellar. Drink now-2025. One of the most propitious Cote de Beaune lieux-dits combined with one of its greatest exponents can only mean one thing – Nirvana! And not the Seattle grunge-merchants.
