Chateau Genot-Boulanger, Les Boucheres, Meursault 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Saline but oaky nose, ripe grapefruit. Medium-bodied, a touch sweet, far less mineral than the nose, though it has some tangy acidity. Despite the alcohol, it lacks power and persistence and finishes a bit flat. Moderate length, and lacks some drive.

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Pale yellow, with lots of smoky oak on the nose and yellow fruits. The palate is rich and full of sweet fruits, maybe some potential.

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Floral, white and yellow fruits. Dry honey and a hint of fresh almonds, natural ripeness on the palate. Good, succulent fruit and nice acidity to lift it, but quite a broad style and lacks the minerality, and complexity of others. Good for early/mid-term.
