David Moret Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres 2021 white

David Moret’s Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2021 is a refined white Burgundy made from Chardonnay grown in one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. It combines the appellation’s characteristic richness with the mineral tension and elegance associated with Genevrières, offering both immediate charm and excellent cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale gold in appearance, this Meursault opens with expressive aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus, complemented by subtle floral notes and finely integrated oak. On the palate, it is generous and creamy yet well balanced by fresh acidity, with flavours of orchard fruit, lemon, hazelnut and a gently chalky mineral finish. The 2021 vintage is marked by freshness and precision, giving the wine an especially vibrant profile. It can be enjoyed now with some aeration, but should develop additional complexity and texture over the next 5–8 years when carefully stored.

Production
Les Genevrières is a highly regarded Premier Cru climat in Meursault, known for its limestone-rich soils and favourable position on the Côte de Beaune slopes. The fruit is Chardonnay, traditionally harvested by hand and carefully selected before fermentation. While exact cellar details for this bottling are not specified, Meursault Premier Cru is typically fermented and matured in oak, allowing the wine to gain depth and texture while preserving the vineyard’s freshness and mineral character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, veal in a light cream sauce, lobster, scallops, grilled or roasted fish, and mature Comté. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 20–30 minutes of aeration can help reveal its full aromatic complexity, particularly when enjoyed young.
