Vincent Girardin Les Genevrières Meursault 1er Cru 2018

A cuvée amounting to eight barrels this year, and derived from both this climat’s lieux-dits, Eric Germain’s 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières mingles aromas of crisp pear and white flowers with hints of almond paste, fresh bread and anise in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, it’s bright and mineral, with tangy acids and a fragrant core of fruit. Drink date: 2024-2045. Score – 93. (William Kelley, robertparker.com, Jan. 14, 2021)
