Premier cru

Terroir and location

In the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Meursault lies at the foot of the vineyards. Its clay-limestone soils and east-to-south exposure give the wines remarkable balance and elegance.

The Genevrières parcel lies to the south-west of the village. Its clay-limestone soil yields expressive fruit, and this Premier Cru is aged in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months.

Tasting notes

Meursault-Genevrières, ripe and generous, expresses a noble style combining tension and breadth. Its flavours of white fruit, brioche, and light toast are balanced by vibrant energy and tension.

Food and wine pairing

Meursault-Genevrières pairs beautifully with oily fish (salmon, tuna), shellfish, or seasoned meats, and shines alongside mild, soft cheeses.
