Antoine told me that the lower part of the vineyard, below where the cabotte is located, was hit by frost, so there is 20% less of the 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres. Maybe I was just anticipating a little more complexity and mineralité on the nose of this wine, just losing a little nervosité because of the challenges of the growing season. The palate is quite powerful and intense with hints of peppermint infusing the citrus fruit on the entry that is slightly mellifluous in texture with a spicy, quite long finish. Not bad at all, although I might just have a preference for the 2015.
