"The 2013 Genevrières from Domaine Lafon had been racked in September of 2014 and was really showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The gorgeous nose soars from the glass in a blaze of apple, tangerine, passion fruit, iodine, musky floral tones, salty terres blanches and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and laser-like in its focus, with a silky textural element to the attack, a great core and stunning soil signature on the very long, very racy and utterly refined finish. A stunning wine in the making."

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.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
