The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières was somewhat protected from the frosts by some early morning cloud cover, and the resulting wine is superb, offering up aromas of green orchard fruit, citrus zest, hazelnut cream, blanched almonds and drawn butter. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and satiny, with excellent depth and dimension, tangy acids and chewy structuring extract, displaying appreciably more amplitude and volume than the Caillerets and Rougeots that preceded it. Elegant but powerful, this is a beautiful Genevrières.
