Meursault 1er Cru « Les Genévrières » -
From the 1er Cru region in Côte de Beaune our wine takes its place in the heart of the «Belle Côte» (beautiful coast/ side) in the 1er Cru’s of Meursault. This area was given its name as it was formally made up of juniper (‘genévrier’ in French) bushes giving us very fragrant berry flavours detected from the first taste of this elegant and silky 1er Cru wine.
