This was my first encounter with Coche-Dury's 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières, a wine that hails from one of the domaine's smallest parcels and which is often among the riper, more textural wines in the portfolio. Bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of citrus oil, Anjou pear, green apple, sesame oil, hazelnuts and a classy framing of new oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep and multidimensional core, racy acids and a long, elegantly toasty finish. While age will bring more integration and complexity, I confess that even at this early stage, the wine is so compelling that I finished my glass with no difficulty.
