Estate is the Napa Valley property of Bordeaux producer Christian Moueix; wine is bottled at historic Napanook Vineyard. A blend of 89% Cab Sauv, 6% Cab Franc & 5% Petit Verdot, aged in 40% new French oak, dark Ruby with aromas of dark currant-like berries, tobacco and cedar. On the palate layers of ripe blackberry, black cherry and cassis with vanilla, cacao and espresso. Well balanced, fine soft integrated tannins, long finish ending with floral, fruit, mineral and slight earthy character. Needs a half dozen years in the bottle but will last 20+ years! As good as Cab gets! — 3 years ago

Some type of reduction issue going on here. Kinda tasted like a natural wine and I doubt I could have guessed Chardonnay blind. I would like to try another btl — 6 years ago

Gorgeous. Complex yet fresh. A touch of mint and raw pepper above brandies cherries and forest floor. In a great place and paired super well with duck and pork/clams at Lucques. — 7 years ago

The complete vermentino: citrus & tart orchard fruit, underripe white peach, delicately floral, and salty rounded out just right with a little lees aging. — 8 years ago

Loads of sulphidic funk - struck match reduction. Under ripe stone fruit palate showing minerality, citrus and balanced oak. A classy Premier Cru Meursault from Jobard. — 2 years ago

The 2017 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is neutral on the nose, sultry but not sullen, maintaining delineation and focus, with crushed stone and light smoky aromas developing over time; it does become a little reduced. The palate is well balanced with a salty, basalt-tinged entry. There is plenty of energy and superb acidity, leading to a vibrant, spicy, persistent finish. This fans out gloriously. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)
