Meursault 1er cru Genevrières 2020

Like the Poruzots, there is a noticeable phenolic character to the slightly riper aromas of jasmine tea, white peach and floral nuances. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors possess excellent mid-palate density along with ample minerality that adds a sense of lift to the bone-dry, moderately austere and impressively long finale. This too will need to develop more depth though, if it does, it could well merit the upper end of my projected range as this is really quite stylish.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
