Meursault 1er cru Genevrières Cuvée des Pierre 2022
- 95 points -
(from 50+ year old vines that see a bit more new wood though this means 33% rather than 25%). Here too the expressive nose is beautifully layered with its aromas of exotic tea, smoked green apple, acacia and plenty of citrus elements. The super-sleek, intense and equally gorgeously textured, and more mineraldriven, flavors display impressive length on the unusually powerful finish that exhibits outstanding depth and persistence. This bone-dry, youthfully austere and compact effort is also exceptionally classy and should be great wine in time. Brilliant.
À propos de 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.
