Bouchard Père et Fils is a sizable and historic Burgundy wine estate, based in Beaune. The largest vineyard owner in the Côte d'Or, it produces more than 100 wines mostly made from Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. These unique and exceptional holdings enable them to produce very pure expressions of the many different terroirs. This producer and négociant business is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, founded in 1731.
Genevrieres is a Premier Cru-rated climat of the Meursault appellation in the Cote de Beaune. It is planted entirely to Chardonnay and is one of Meursault's larger and better-known vineyard sites, located at the southern end of the commune.
Bursting with a telltale Genevrières nose of green apples, bosc pears, white flowers, and warm spices, this vintage is a classic, elegant wine that holds its juicy fruit in tension with flinty minerals. Concentrated and rich, this Meursault has a sprightly vein of acidity that keeps it nimble into its sustained, sophisticated finish. Deriving from the estate’s 6.5-acre gravel and limestone Genevrières parcel, the grapes for this wine enjoy temperature-controlled fermentation, and the wine ages in barrel, 15% new, for 10 to 12 months. Vibrant, complex, and thrilling, this 2011 Meursault Genevrières is an exceptional wine, loaded with savory flavors and a long-lasting finish.
