Meursault - Louis Latour - 2021

75 cl

Wine Spectator: 90 points

Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Chardonnay

Vinification:

The malolactic (malolactic / malolactic fermentation) takes place traditionally in large wooden barrels. The wine then matures for 8-12 months in Burgundy barrels from our own cooperage.

Tasting note:

The Meursault has a pale yellow colour in the glass. On the nose, it has subtle aromas of exotic fruits and brioche. The palate is full-bodied and round with notes of almonds and a hint of vanilla. The finish is wonderfully mineral!

Domaine et Maison Latour:

Today, the 11th Latour generation is already running the wine trade and winegrowing business. The management of the family business is always passed on to the first-born - and for eight generations he has always had the first name Louis.

Today, no fewer than seven domaines mainly produce grapes from the Côte d'Or, but also from the Chablis, the Beaujolais and from the south of France.

A unique feature in Burgundy, Maison Louis Latour is the only company to produce all of its own pièces (wooden barrels) in its own cooperage. Wines from over 100 AOCs are matured in around 3500 barrels. The wines of Louis Latour are elegant and fragrant. The wines emphasise finesse over concentration.
