Winemakers Notes
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. The perfect south-easterly exposure and the rocky, stony soils contribute greatly to the remarkable finesse of which the wines of Meursault are capable. 'Genevrières' comes from 'genévrier' (juniper), a shrub with prickly needles and purple berries which enjoys the limestone soils of Burgundy. Many junipers were replaced by vines, hence the name of the juniper forms part of the name of many parcels of vines. The Meursault 1er Cru "Genevrières" is a great example of a fine Burgundy Chardonnay.
Tasting Note: The wine is bursting with sweet exotic fruits reminiscent of lime and guava and complimented by subtle scents of vanilla oak; this wine also possesses a nuttiness often found in good Meursault. This Meursault is easily capable of ageing for more than 8 years.
Food Pairing : Chicken in cream sauce - skate in brown butter - white truffle risotto - Epoisses cheese.
