Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a subtle reduction on the nose that enhances the aromatics. It is well-defined, with more yellow fruit in situ, crushed stone and rosemary oil. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is energetic and tensile from the start, with the reduction just right. It is not a deep Genevrières, yet taut and linear, almost Puligny-like towards the sustained finish. Excellent, though it needs bottle age to work through the reduction. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Jobard's 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is brilliant, wafting from the glass with aromas of Nashi pear, buttery pastry, white flowers, oatmeal and crisp stone fruits. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's satiny and seamless, with racy acids, terrific depth and tension and a long, penetrating finish.
Cask sample. Very precise premier cru Meursault. Crystalline fruits. Stony finish. Mineral. Weighty but not at all heavy on the palate. More definition than the Charmes. Long and lingering. (AWH)
