93 By Robert Parker
The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières Dessous comes from a hectare of vines. It has a crisp, well-defined, quite nutty bouquet with hints of nutmeg and smoke developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with quite an intense opening. This is quite a powerful Genevrières and though it lacks the persistence and delineation of a great vintage, there is a sense of depth and breeding. This is one to watch.
Producer
Maison Benjamin Leroux
Young, talented, and more than ambitious winemaker, Benjamin Leroux has finally said goodbye to his role as head vintner at Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard, and instead, decided to follow his own dream. Following his multi-national oenology studies, he began purchasing organic fruit back in 2007 to produce his own wines, and his passion and reputation has just grown exponentially since. Focusing exclusively on his négociant since June 2014, it has grown into a rather large producer of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, he even acquired some vineyards of his own. As one of the most gifted wine growers in the whole Côte d’Or region, he is also one of the most knowledgeable of the Burgundy appellation. He works closely with vineyards that produce amazing fruit, regardless of the estates’ reputations or connotations.
