Tasting notes
The 2007 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru has a pale silvery hue. The brilliant, effervescent bouquet features orange blossom and white peach, and a hint of almond and saffron in the background. The palate displays exquisite balance, grilled hazelnut mingling with orange pith and lemon zest. Quite sharp and penetrating on the finish. Superb. Tasted at Noizé restaurant in London.

Tasted blind, the 2007 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières from Coche-Dury is aging well. It has a fascinating bouquet with scents of white flower, walnut, almond and white chocolate that is beautifully defined. With a few minutes in the glass, there is a hint of wild heather. The palate is very well balanced with a silver bead of acidity that cuts through the harmonious citrus fruit. It just exudes precision and nervosité, that hint of reduction towards the finish directing you to the one producer who knows how to use that to great effect. Wonderful. You could broach this now or see how it develops over the next decade...the choice is yours. Tasted October 2016.
