Genevrieres Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay
A true unicorn never to be made again and whose quantities dwindle by the day, BBV Genevriéres which can be hit (really hit) or miss (advanced) is absolutely stunning tonight, disregarding the frost laden vintage and firing on all cylinders with massive concentration and killer floral and yellow fruit intensity that’s seamlessly balanced with layered minerality and racy citrusy acids. It wafts from the glass and the decanter with waves of ripe orchard fruit, popcorn, hazelnut and exotic spices. Texturally brilliant, with plenty of tension and serious length, terroir and producer shine in this beauty. A perfect BBV at EMP 🥳💫

Nov 6th, 2021Beautiful drinking Meursault showing aromas of lemon, white flower, mineral, saline, with hints of chalk & flint. Deep, rich on the palate with clean, precise notes & racy acid. Seems ready & perfect now.
