91 NM. "The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières offers hints of almond and white peach on the nose, later lime cordial as it begins to motor. The palate is fresh and vigorous on the entry with touches of bitter lemon and quince. This Meursault is crisp and taut with a long, languorous finish and thus represents one of David’s best offerings in 2012 . . . . I was unfamiliar with the wines of David Moret until I chanced upon bottled 2012s in London. His first two wines in the line-up, the Rully and Saint Romain Village, were both exemplary for their respective appellations and subsequent crus went some way in justifying their not inexpensive price tags . . . . New oak is used prudently, around 20% for the premier crus in order to express their terroirs, which they do with some style." Wine Advocate #221, Oct 2015 |
