Seamless and precise, the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières exhibits notions of pear and confit lemon mingled with freshly baked bread, white flowers, nutmeg and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, with a concentrated, layered core that's animated by a vibrant spine of acidity, fully eight barrels were produced.

One of the highlights of this year's range is the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières, a striking wine that unfurls in the glass with notes of pear, crisp green apple and peach mingled with hints of smoke and fresh bread, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's concentrated and seamless, with lively acids and a long, chalky finish.

A cuvée amounting to eight barrels this year, and derived from both this climat's lieux-dits, Eric Germain's 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières mingles aromas of crisp pear and white flowers with hints of almond paste, fresh bread and anise in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, it's bright and mineral, with tangy acids and a fragrant core of fruit.

The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières is also performing well, displaying scents of pear, peach, white flowers and hazelnuts, framed by a subtle touch of reduction. This is medium to full-bodied, tensile and elegantly muscular, with chalky structuring dry extract, lively acids and a long, palate-staining finish. Like the Charmes, this will reward patience. This hails from two parcels, one in each of the two climats of Genevrières.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières was showing a bit of vanilla new oak on the nose, although that will be assimilated with another 2-3 years in bottle. It opens nicely with yellow plum, peach skin and apricot aromas that seem to blossom with aeration. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very citrus-driven with lemon peel dominating the mid palate. I appreciate the weight in the mouth and though the finish still feels a little closed, I suggest that with bottle age this will turn into a fine Genevrières from Girardin. Tasted May 2016.
