The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières is also performing well, displaying scents of pear, peach, white flowers and hazelnuts, framed by a subtle touch of reduction. This is medium to full-bodied, tensile and elegantly muscular, with chalky structuring dry extract, lively acids and a long, palate-staining finish. Like the Charmes, this will reward patience. This hails from two parcels, one in each of the two climats of Genevrières.
Seamless and precise, the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières exhibits notions of pear and confit lemon mingled with freshly baked bread, white flowers, nutmeg and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, with a concentrated, layered core that's animated by a vibrant spine of acidity, fully eight barrels were produced.
A cuvée amounting to eight barrels this year, and derived from both this climat's lieux-dits, Eric Germain's 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 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.

His reds are of consistently high quality, with the emphasis being on purity of fruit and smooth, supple tannins. However, it is with whites that he really excels, producing a range of wines which are characterised by their depth of fruit and exquisite balance. These whites are extremely approachable when young but the top crus benefit from 4-5 years of bottle ageing.

The reds are made including stems where possible, if ripe and healthy enough, and minimal handling during cuvaison: no punching down at all. As with the whites there is little reliance on new wood.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
