Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Fresh apricot perked up by lime and herbs on the nose. Enters the mouth with an enticing touch of sweetness, then turns juicy and tight; less silky today than the Poruzot. Finishes understated, perfumed and long, with vibrant lemon fruit and saline minerality. A faint acid/tannin edge calls for a minimum of three or four years of cellaring.

In 2011 the Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is ethereal, gracious and impeccably refined. Here, too, the aromas and flavors haven't really developed, instead what impresses most is the wine's pure minerality and intensity. Lemon, crushed rocks, white flowers and savory herbs all inform the pointed, chiseled finish. The 2011 needs at least a few years in the cellar. If opened today the 2011 needs a lot of air.
Broad, sweet, rich and satisfying. Lots going on here. Really dense. (JR)
Sweet aromas of orange peel, lemon, pineapple, fresh apricot and hazelnut; this could only be Meursault. Silky, spicy and sweet, with a fine grain to the orange and spice flavors. Nicely balanced and quite stylish. Finishes long and classically dry. Strong for the vintage.
