Bouchard Pere & Fils Meursault Genevrieres Premier Cru

In olden days, the vineyards of this great Meursault must have been surrounded by junipers whose name has lived on. This prestigious appellation was classified as a “Tête de cuvée” as early as 1855 by Dr Lavalle in his renowned book “Histoire et Statistiques de la Vigne et des Grands Vins de la Côte-d’Or”. At that time, the terms Premiers Crus and Grands Crus were not in use. Bouchard Père & Fils owns 2.65 hectares of Meursault Genevrières, often the first Chardonnays to be harvested on the estate.

Tasting notes:
Very pale yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate floral bouquet with hints of white blossom, fresh apple and minerality. Silky on the palate, but a bit soft at the core, pear fruit with caramel on the finish and moderately long.
