2020 Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru "Genevrieres" Blanc
Vintage : 2020
Region : Burgundy
Country : France
Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru "Genevrières" Blanc is an exceptional expression of a warm, solar Burgundy vintage, showing off a bright, pale golden-yellow hue in the glass. The nose is remarkably expressive from the start, offering a classic "Genevrières" bouquet of ripe yellow orchard fruits, acacia blossoms, and orange peel, woven together with subtle hints of toasted brioche and vanilla bean. On the palate, the wine delivers the round, voluptuous texture characteristic of 2020, coating the mouth with layers of juicy peach, lemon curd, and a distinct, underlying hazelnut richness. Despite the heat of the growing season, a brilliant vein of citrusy acidity cuts through the opulence, maintaining immaculate balance and driving the wine into a long, mineral-flecked finish that lingers with a sophisticated touch of spice. This is a beautifully layered white Burgundy that is approachable now due to its generous fruit profile, but possesses the structure to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
