Meursault Genevrieres Wine

Genevrieres is a Premier Cru rated climat of the Meursault appellation in the Cote de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. It is one of Meursault’s larger and better-known vineyard sites, and is located at the southern end of the commune. Genevrieres is divided into two similarly named halves; Genevrieres Dessus and Genevrieres Dessous. dessus meaning above, and dessous meaning below. As is the case with so many Burgundy vineyards, the upper section produces the superior fruit benefitting from improved drainage and increased exposure to the morning sunlight. The climat also includes a small portion of each of the Chaumes des Perrieres and Chaumes de Narvaux sites, which would otherwise be entirely unclassified.

The Genevrieres site is located on the limestone slopes of the Cote d’Or, facing between south and south-east, thus capitalizing on the ripening potential of the morning and early afternoon sunshine during the growing season. It sits in a small cluster of Premier Cru vineyards at the southern end of Meursault. These vineyards produce the commune’s finest wines, which are renowned for being among the richer, more full-bodied Burgundy whites. Meursault tasting notes commonly cite notes of butter, almonds and grilled hazelnuts alongside the finer citrus fruit and mineral elements. Some of the complexity and ageing potential of these wines is due to the fact that a lot of Meursault white is matured in oak barrels for slightly longer than whites from other communes.

Immediately south of Genevrieres are the Perrieres and Charmes climats, and together these three large sites produce the majority of Meursault’s Premier Cru white wines; most red wines produced in Meursault are made under the Blagny or Volnay appellations.

Meursault Premier Cru wines are those produced under the strictest conditions of the Meursault appellation, from grapes grown within officially classified Premier Cru vineyards. These wines are permitted to state the words Premier Cru on their labels and to append their official climat name to that of the commune in the appellation title.
