Château Latour
Louis Latour
Bourgogne Chardonnay 2025
Fuller body and higher acidity for a chard. Floral and tropical notes with a hint of vanilla. Surprisingly drinkable for a French Chardonnay — a month ago
Domaine Latour-Giraud
Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
Mid Lemon Yellow in colour. Barb thought aromatics of lemon flower and dusty citrus generally. A little flint and quince. On the palate more citrus featuring lemon, lime and ripe grapefruit. A thirst quenching white wine - balanced with just sufficient acid. Thoroughly enjoyable from a good vintage for white burgundy. With air this wine put on weight and became more luscious. The following night still superb. — 3 months ago

I have waited nearly 20 yrs to have this with a steak. Tonight is the night. It’s still early, but a good first look. I would have the next of 3 bottles in 5 yrs and another in 10 yrs.
After a 3 plus hour decant, it still has brawn. With the Ribcap, more than the dark core showed up. Some blue fruits, ripe strawberries and raspberries came out to play.
This still has not hit its precipice.
This is classic Bordeaux & Latour in a grand vintage.
The palate has a dark core of black currants, brambly, blackberries, black raspberries, black cherries, black plum skin, plum with strawberries & raspberries & a touch of blueberries as it sets. Dry tobacco & leather, plenty of graphite, moist grey, volcanic clay, dark rich soils with limestone & pebbles, dark spices w/ some palate heat, hints of caramel, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & faint vanillin, dry twig, mid berry cola, dry herbs, dry & withering, dark & red florals framed in withering violets, round acidity with still big tension/struture, balance is almost there as is the finish that goes on and on settling on dry earthiness & spice. Better in 5 yrs and drink well for 15 yrs. — 2 days ago
