Critics Ratings

‘A spicy, cool and airy nose of slightly exotic white orchard fruit, acacia blossom and Asian tea nuances leads to rich and palate coating medium-bodied flavours as there is plenty of dry extract that adds a real sense of volume to the mid-palate. There is really lovely intensity and detail to the lemony and bone dry finish that is presently notably austere. This beauty will also require extended cellaring.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-93/100 (Jun 2013)

‘The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres comes from the higher reaches of the climat. It has a wonderful bouquet 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, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Aug 2013)
