Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières comes from the Burgundian climate which takes its name from the juniper trees that were found on the heights of the Côte de Beaune: it is made up of stony soil with a small clay-limestone proportion. This Chardonnay is fermented in Stockinger demi-muids (Austrian cooperage) and the aging lasts 12 months in the same types of barrels, 25% of which is new.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
