Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru is another that, like the superior Buisson-Battault, leans towards the richer, sunnier side of the spectrum. Yellow fruit commingles with oatmeal and honeysuckle. Late picked? Maybe just a little more honeyed, returning to the glass after ten minutes. The palate is nicely balanced with a harmonious entry. Lovely depth and cohesion, lightly spiced with a dash of lemongrass towards the finish. This meliorates in the glass, prompting me to keep upping my score, and if I had longer, it might have gone further! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is beautiful, unwinding to reveal aromas of lime, orange oil and crisp green orchard fruit, mingled with freshly baked bread, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with terrific cut and a seamless, elegant profile, it will offer a broad drinking window.
Tank sample. Mid lemon with green tints; greater breadth and volume, quite four-square. Length. (MH)
