Domaine Génot-Boulanger's Meursault Premier Cru is a quintessential expression of its terroir, sourced from steep, limestone-rich hillside parcels. This wine masterfully balances the characteristic richness and buttery texture of Meursault with a vibrant, mineral-driven tension and precision. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of candied lemon, orchard fruits, and subtle herbal notes like bay leaf, complemented by elegant oak influence. On the palate, it is refined and structured, with a long, crystalline finish that showcases the estate's commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention.
A masterpiece of balance — opulent yet razor-sharp, this is a true benchmark for modern Meursault from one of Burgundy's most exciting certified organic domaines.
