Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Meursault 1er Cru les Genevrières 2011 is austere on the nose and, to be honest, it seems a little anodyne compared to its peers. The palate is crisp on the entry with bitter lemon and orange rind. There is moderate weight in the mouth, but like the first wine there is a slight volatile element that blurs the finish. After 15 minutes the wine improves, developing more spiciness and tension, although it still lacks that "je ne sais quoi."
