Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of peach and nutmeg lifted by a violet topnote. Rich, round and opulent, with a tactile texture to its classically dry flavors of stone fruits, flowers and minerals. A fat and sexy but firmly structured Meursault that finishes with chewy extract and terrific grip.

Sappy aromas of peach, apple and mint. Suave, broad and generous; a fat, full Genevrieres with just enough acidity to frame its sweet fruit. Impressive rising finish shows excellent breadth and persistence. Made from a combination of estate vines planted in 1976 and a parcel purchased from Ropiteau, which was planted in 1975 and brings healthier acidity.
Much richer and more ‘golden’ nose – lovely aromatic balance of citrus and sweet spicy oak. Fresh, delicately oaky/buttery and almonds on the finish. Long, fresh, slim in youth. (JH)
