Thankfully, the 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres was a normal crop from Dominique Lafon, comprising ten and a half barrels. It has a vivid, hazelnut and flinty bouquet that is a little stricter than other years but very well focused. The palate is very composed with fine, lightly honeyed fruit, hazelnut and almond, leading to a very pretty and harmonious finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a very well-crafted, quintessential Genevrières that does its best to compensate for the devastation wrought in other vineyards.
