2001 Meursault Genevrieres

The almond paste-scented 2001 Meursault-Genevrieres is oily-textured, lush, and medium-bodied. Sporting a fabulous mouth-feel, this wine conquers the palate with satiny layers of ripe white peaches and pears. Fresh, pure, and long in the finish, it is a candidate for drinking over the next 6 years. Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.

There is a trace of reduction but it's not enough to hide the mildly exotic and overtly spicy yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is excellent precision and intensity to the seductively textured yet racy medium-bodied flavors that possess outstanding length and a refined mouth feel. This is really very good and for my taste, it has arrived at its peak drinkability though it should hold here for another 6 to 10 years, perhaps a little longer. Mar 2015, www.burghound.com
