There are a mere two and a half barriques of Boyer’s 2006 Meursault Genevrieres, about two-thirds of the quantity available in generous vintages. Marzipan and hazelnut paste, orange zest, peach and brown spices rise from the glass, and the nutty, honeyed, rich, creamy palate does not fail to introduce the suggestions of mineral dimension expected of this site, nor does the finish lack for refreshment. This should be worth following for at least 5-7 years. Vincent Boyer began picking several days after the official starting date, in the belief that his grapes required additional ripening. After yeasting, the musts took off and fermented quickly, which might account for a certain sameness of character I noticed from one site to another. All but one of the 2006s was bottled already by August, 2007. Boyer was concerned to preserve freshness and the early 2007 harvest forced him to make a quick decision. The wines were lightly filtered but not fined. (Several unfiltered bottlings from selected barrels were as usual essayed this year exclusively for North Berkeley Imports, which I did not taste.)
