Antoine Jobard/Hudelot-Noëllat Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Kato, Los Angeles): All 3 Genevrières were deeper in color than the Charmes. First wine to show oak aromas. Concentrated, rich, lovely sweetness of fruit. Woody base with a tropical note upfront, but then excellent back end acidity and citrus. This starts out feeling a little heavy compared to the other wines, but it is rescued by fine acidity for such a ripe vintage, and it gains focus with air. Not my favorite of the bunch, but balanced and impressive in a bigger style than seems typical for the domain.
