Meursault 1er cru Genevrières Cuvée des Pierre 2018

- 94 points -

This is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée of Genevrières with just a bit more oak influence though I underscore that it remains subtle. The tight, intense and mineral-driven middle weight plus flavors brim with old vine sap that imparts a sappiness to the mouthfeel while buffering the very firm acid spine shaping the impressively long finish. This is terrific and impeccably well-balanced and a wine that should age for a very long time if desired.

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.
