Meursault 1er cru Genevrières Cuvée des Pierre 2013

- 94 points -

(from 50+ year old vines). There is a touch of mineral reduction present on the equally elegant nose that features notes of spice, lilac, white orchard fruit and plenty of floral elements. There is superb richness yet no lack of detail to the almost painfully intense full-bodied flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract before concluding in a stony, complex and irreproachably well-balanced finish. This is stony to the point that the word rocky could reasonably describe it and like the Champs Canet, this is definitely a ‘wow’ wine though note well that patience will be required.

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.
