Les Genevrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay

There’s 2015 white burg and there’s 2015 white burg. This is the latter. Undoubtedly this family made some of the very best whites in the warm 2015 vintage, managing to capture a perfect blend of richness, fruit density and racy acids. 2015 Genevrières is stunning tonight, showing all of the above with the elegance of the Genevrières site on full display, with immense depth and captivating aromatics. Its struck match-lemon cream pie bouquet makes the glass hard to put down. Textbook Meursault and a tremendous rendition in 2015.

Very poised and clear. Mint, citrus, green apple, slate. Very zen and calm. A quiet intensity. Long. Excellent

10 years young. Just entering its peak.

Lemon, pear drop, white flowers. Good depth of flavor. Pretty

Whereas some 2010 White Burgundy (originally hailed as a top vintage) outside of the super upper echelon is overly advancing and dying to be drunk, 2010 PYCM Genevrieres has many years ahead. It needed a great deal of air before it could strut its stuff, but when it got there, that’s just what it did. A sufficient decant unleashes its core with killer yellow fruit intensity, white flowers, smoky minerals, hazelnuts and toasty oak. The palate becomes equally as intense with superb weight, a stunningly luxurious texture and a persistent and powerful finish. PYCM at its finest, but with an exceptional and lengthy future for 2010 Genevrieres.

Peach, greengage, lime. Some tropical notes. Limestone and fresh. Delicious with slightly sweet edges. God length. Excellent.

Delicious. Bright, zippy, full of life. Lime, slate, intensity. Excellent.

Very broad and rich. Noticeable oak. Lemon Oil and almost candied on the finish. Intense

Sulfrur, oak, rich lemon oil, steeliness. On the palate beautifully oily and rich. Great mouthfeel and balance. Intense and long.. a long life ahead.

Another great PYCM so much material with stunning mineral & acid. Yum!
