The Vineyard Plot:
The "Les Genevrières” climat faces due east, allowing the grapes to retain good freshness until harvest. The moderately deep, stony, and marly soil contributes to producing wines that are both dense and elegant.
Its name comes from the presence of juniper bushes—spiny shrubs that produce purple berries—which particularly thrive in the limestone soils characteristic of Burgundy.
The Wine:
Its color displays a beautiful canary yellow with very subtle emerald highlights.
The nose, ripe and rich, combines tension and freshness, with aromas of white and yellow fruits—particularly lemon, yellow peach, and apricot—along with a touch of honeysuckle, light notes of toasted bread, vanilla, butter, and honey.
On the palate, beautifully balanced between creaminess and freshness, with a slight vibrant acidity and good concentration, it reveals flavors of orange syrup, peach, and apricot, with subtle hints of hazelnut, leading to a long finish with delicate spices such as nutmeg and cedar.
Cellaring Advice:
It can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5 to 10 years (recommended).
Food Pairing:
- Veal blanquette with white sauce
- Salmon fricassée with fennel
- Tagliatelle with goat cheese, thyme, and bacon bits
