Description

Charles Ballot directs this old line Domaine of 11.5 ha, of which 75% of the production is white. Ballot describes the 2019 vintage as having produced "magnificent wines of freshness and real drive despite elevated alcohol levels. Simply put, Ballot Millot's 2019s are absolutely amazing. Burghound writes: "They are knock-out good."

Along with Perrières and Charmes, Genevrières forms the holy trinity of Meursault 1er Crus. The quick summary is that Charmes is known for its grandeur, Perrières for its refined, punchy mineral focus, and Genevrières, to some extent, falls in the middle. Many writers put Genevrières as a close second to Perrières.

The 2019 Genevrières is finely calibrated. It delivers a thundering mineral length combined with a beautiful cut. There's a really nice depth and finessed lift.

Review

A spicy and naturally exotic nose freely offers up notes of tea, white flowers, and the pretty essence of pear wisps. There is again terrific cut and intensity to the even more mineral-driven medium-weight flavors that are shaped by bright and firm acidity on the sappy and hugely long finish. This is quite dense and unusually powerful for Genevrières. In a word, wonderful.
