FEATURES
The 2018 Michel Bouzereau Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru is a testament to a warm vintage in Burgundy, yielding a wine that is both rich and layered. Early reviews from 2020 noted a "sleepy malo" and a wine still evolving, with only 25% new oak used. By 2024, it was described as "really big and rich and hugely textured". This white Burgundy is currently in its peak drinking window, which is suggested to extend from 2024 to 2029.
Expect a complex bouquet and palate featuring layers of baked apple, pastry, mineral, papaya, and citrus, with a long finish hinting at sweet oak and a touch of gun metal. Other notes include butter, vanilla, lemon, peach, apricot, honey, and even brioche and hazelnut from its aging potential. It's often characterized by a big, rich profile with honey, grilled walnuts, caramel, and butterscotch, offering a luscious, unctuous, yet never heavy mouthfeel.
🍴 This exquisite Meursault pairs beautifully with rich, buttery, and creamy dishes. Think pan-seared scallops with a beurre blanc, roasted chicken with truffle risotto, or a creamy mushroom pasta. It also complements fish, shellfish, and poultry, as well as a selection of soft, ripe cheeses like Epoisses, Brie, and Camembert.
🥂 This wine is perfect for a celebratory dinner, a sophisticated gathering, or as a contemplative pour for a special evening. Its richness and complexity make it an ideal choice for gourmet meals and moments that call for an exceptional white wine. 【One of the most respected Premier Crus in Meursault, with the family owning a mere 4 rows in this prestigious vineyard, making it highly sought-after and exclusive.】
