Winemaker Notes
A golden color with green reflections. This 1er Cru is elegant with subtle shades of rose that balances perfectly with its deep roundness and finishing on notes of apricot and mandarin. The delicate and clear palate is long and silky which gives a taste of hazelnuts and honey on the tongue. This wine is a perfect example of the greatness of a Meursault 1er Cru.
Best served with a well cooked foie gras and caramelized apples.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières has a superior bouquet compared to the Meursault Charmes. Here I discerned more mineralité and complexity in the glass, attractive scents of yellow flowers, citrus fruit and walnut profiting from aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, impressive tension and quite elegant towards the lightly spiced finish. This is well worth seeking out.

Wine
The Domaine has in total 10 hectares of vineyards spread across various locations of the Côte de Beaune including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses and Pommard. From 1997 to 2007 the Domaine acquired more parcels of land giving them a wider selection of appellations including Meursault "Les Tillets", Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrieres", and Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Le Cailleret".
The vines and soil give the wine its great quality which is why it is important to manage them with both respect and care. To ensure that the wine produced is of high quality, traditional methods are used involving little or no product (sprays, chemicals, etc.) soil cultivation, crop care, green harvest, and hand picking. Using these old fashioned methods and less machinery allows for the wines to develop naturally which means they are very similar to organic wine making, however they don't have the 'Bio' label.
