"The 2015 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru sports a subtle reaction that allows the terroir to filter through. The nose is well defined, with scents of beeswax and lanolin; grilled hazelnuts emerge with aeration. The taut, precise palate is very well balanced, possessing a fine line of acidity and conveying a sense of energy and depth toward the finish. There is a lovely tang of ginger and lemongrass on the aftertaste. This has great potential. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 10 closure)"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
