(91-93+) The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières was more reserved, unwinding in the glass with a shy bouquet of pear, white flowers, clear honey and green apple. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, the outlines are promising, but the wine isn't yet fully formed.

A naturally exotic nose more freely offers up its array of spiced tea, acacia, white and yellow orchard fruit, and in particular passion fruit and kiwi, along with subtle citrus whiffs. There is a lovely sense of tension to the utterly delicious medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the beautifully delineated and super-saline finish that is clean, dry and focused. This is a wine of harmony and grace that should repay up to a decade of cellaring.
