2018 Vincent Girardin, Meursault 1er Cru, Genevrieres 1x75cl

Robert Parker – 93

A cuvee amounting to eight barrels this year, and derived from both this climat’s lieux-dits, Eric Germain’s 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres 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. [07/12/2020]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2045

Burghound – 89-92

A smoky nose features notes of exotic tea, lemon rind, lilac, rose petal and subtle spice nuances. The delicious if not particularly dense flavors possess evident minerality before concluding in a lingering finish that could also be aptly described as crunchy. [10/06/2020]
