Tasting: An exemplary Meursault showing brilliant precision and energy. The nose offers refined aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, and crushed stones, with subtle notes of fresh hazelnuts and brioche. On the palate, there's remarkable tension between rich fruit and vibrant minerality.
Pairing: This sophisticated Premier Cru deserves careful pairing consideration. Outstanding with Ōra King Salmon in a beurre blanc sauce, or butter-poached Tristan da Cunha Lobster. For poultry enthusiasts, try with Poulet de Bresse in a light cream sauce. The wine's mineral complexity pairs beautifully with aged Fort Saint Antoine Comté or perfectly ripened Vacherin Mont d'Or. During autumn, serve with wild Girolles sautéed in butter, or shaved white truffle over risotto for an exceptional gastronomic experience.
Producer: Domaine Latour-Giraud, now under the skilled direction of Jean-Pierre Latour, represents the epitome of modern Meursault winemaking while honouring traditional methods. The domaine holds an enviable 1.2 hectares in Genevrières, widely considered one of Meursault's finest Premier Cru sites. Their approach combines meticulous vineyard management with precise cellar work, resulting in wines that perfectly express the unique terroir of Genevrières.
Vintage: 2022 proved exceptional in Burgundy, particularly for white wines. A warm, dry summer was balanced by sufficient water reserves from spring rains. The growing season allowed for optimal ripening while maintaining crucial acidity. September brought perfect harvest conditions, resulting in wines of both concentration and freshness, with excellent ageing potential.
