Description

Magnum Meursault-Genévrières 1986 – Domaine Alain & Christiane Patriarche

The Nobility of a Premier Cru in a Rare, Age-Worthy Format

Meursault-Genévrières is one of the most esteemed Premier Cru vineyards in the Meursault appellation, celebrated for its elegance, mineral tension, and aromatic richness. This 1986 magnum, produced by Domaine Alain & Christiane Patriarche, is a beautiful expression of Burgundian tradition and the remarkable aging potential of top-tier white Burgundy.

The 1986 vintage in Burgundy was classically balanced, producing white wines with fine acidity and solid structure. In magnum format, the wine has aged gracefully and slowly, preserving its freshness, volume, and complexity over the decades.

Now fully mature, it reveals a deep golden robe with amber reflections. The nose is layered and refined, with aromas of toasted hazelnut, fresh butter, dried flowers, preserved yellow fruits, beeswax, and warm stone minerality. On the palate, it is broad and almost creamy, supported by a vibrant mineral backbone and a mellow acidity, leading to a long, elegant, and saline finish.

This 1986 Meursault-Genévrières Magnum is a rare and precious wine, ideal for special occasions, birthdays, or an intimate tasting experience. It pairs beautifully with roasted lobster, turbot with hollandaise sauce, or aged Comté cheese.
