The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières was reticent on the nose after the more open Narvaux and Chevalier 2013s. However, with encouragement it begins to open and offer attractive walnut and smoky notes, very typical of this vineyard. The palate is nicely balanced with a crisp line of acidity and plenty of citrus fruit laced with hazelnut and smoke toward the linear, quite saline finish. This is a conservative Genevrieres that should age and offer more with bottle age.
