The almond paste-scented 2001 Meursault-Genevrieres is oily-textured, lush, and medium-bodied. Sporting a fabulous mouth-feel, this wine conquers the palate with satiny layers of ripe white peaches and pears. Fresh, pure, and long in the finish, it is a candidate for drinking over the next 6 years.
Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.
