Les Genevrières is widely regarded as one of Meursault's finest Premier Cru vineyards, positioned on steep limestone slopes that yield Chardonnay of exceptional aromatic intensity, mineral precision, and silken texture. Crafted by David Moret—a renowned Beaune-based micro-négociant specializing strictly in high-caliber white Burgundy—this limited-production cuvée exemplifies modern Meursault at its most refined.
The 2024 vintage highlights a harmonious balance of vibrant fruit and poised acidity. In the glass, it presents a luminous golden-straw color with bright reflections. The bouquet is complex and expressive, offering ripe tropical fruit notes, white peach, citrus zest, and acacia blossom, seamlessly intertwined with Moret’s signature toasted hazelnut and fine oak spices. On the palate, the wine combines generous texture and subtle creaminess with a driving limestone-driven minerality, finishing with incredible length and fresh focus.
Farmed from carefully selected old-vine parcels and aged on fine lees in French oak barrels, the 2024 Les Genevrières is an outstanding candidate for medium- to long-term cellaring.
