| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by finediningnyc on 3/8/2024 & rated 97 points: Splash decant. When Lafon is on they’re as good as any name in white burgundy. 2012 Genevrieres is an absolute banger, seamlessly balanced between richness and elegance and perfectly developed wafting waves of defined fruit, pastry cream, butterscotch and toasted almonds within its layered minerality. It wraps around the palate with incredible texture, concentration and density with a massively long, silky finish. Crazy good.

One of the finest bottles I have had from the Domaine for which inconsistency seems to be the defining characteristic (for me).
Rich and full, yet harmonious. Thank you THP.

With the possibly exception of certain Grand Crus, I'm no longer interested in drinking aged white Burgundy as it's just not the same as it used to be. 2014 is as far back as I'll go now with this stuff. Drunk at La Maison du Columbier in Beaune, perhaps the most affordable Burgundy list on earth.

Great spice with rich apple throughout, the energy from the mineral textures really stand out for me. Good weight, great length. Enjoy through the next 5 years. (1470 views) | | | Tasted by SpitzNV on 12/31/2021 & rated 93 points: Selection of somm at Manresa when requested "best white Burg under $500". They had it listed for $475. Was not disappointed. Delicious and paired wonderfully with seafood dishes. (706 views) | | | Tasted by Tim2 on 10/23/2020 & rated 92 points: Would have guessed blind that it was much older. Quite nice. (794 views) | | | Tasted by Tim2 on 5/18/2020 & rated 92 points: Good with tuna on the grill okra and little potatoes.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
