Aromas of pear, orange oil, baking spices and nutmeg introduce Drouhin's 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières, a medium to full-bodied, bright and lively wine with promising depth and energy. Still a little introverted when I visited, this hadn't yet been bottled.

The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières offers up notes of crisp orchard fruit, pastry cream, white flowers and a delicate framing of new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, elegant and precise, with a satiny attack, deep but open-knit core and a pure finish. It's a lovely Genevriéres in the making.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières, which is a relatively new contract for Drouhin having incepted around three years ago, has a struck flint, limestone bouquet that offers sea spray/marine scents with time. The palate is very well balanced with superb energy, vibrant and tensile, with a lovely saline finish. Watch out for this once in bottle, because it has tons of potential, but may surpass the Les Perrières in the long-term.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a debut release from Drouhin. It comes from whole cluster fruit and spends ten months in oak cask, bottled in August 2015. It has good intensity on the nose with clean citrus fruit with tropical tones, the mineral side of the aromatics hidden at first but surfacing with time. The palate is very well balanced with hints of almond infusing the citrus fruit, the oak nicely integrated with hints of grilled almond and walnut furnishing the finish. Perhaps it needs just a little more persistence on the aftertaste, though that may come with bottle age.
