Higher parcel calcaires but quite deep. ‘Complet.’ Quite smoky on the nose and then great richness on the palate. Fab purity. Not sure I can see Genevrières so clearly on this but it’s a lovely wine. Such persistence. ‘For me Genevrières isn’t inferior to Perrières’, says PY. 18.5/20

The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres comes from the higher reaches of the climat. It has a wonderful bouquet reminiscent of Jean-Francois Coche’s 2005 Genevrieres, exhibiting enthralling delineation and a beguiling floral personality. The palate shimmers with vigor and race on the entry – beautifully integrated oak, an engaging silver thread of acidity and a mineral-rich finish that is paradoxically both elegant and intense. There is a sense of completeness here. A top Meursault for the vintage and one of Pierre-Yves finest 2011s. Drink 2014-2025+ - Neal Martin
