Domaine Latour-Giraud
Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
You know you’re drinking Meursault from the first sip with the chalky minerality and saline. The body is round, thick & waxy. Green apple w/ plenty of skin, lime zest, lemon, tropical melons, grapefruit & white stone fruits. Some honey notes, crumbled chalk, sea fossils, sea spray, limestone marl, mid white spice, honey notes, white field of spring flowers with greens, round, rainfall acidity and a round, lush, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes falling on minerality, excellent white spice and soft used barrel notes.
Another point or two with cellaring.

2009 vintage. Still intense, young and barely evolved with palate-staining extract, electric acidity and primary Apple / malic and citrus fruit. Could be profound with time

Sep 6th, 2015Wow - fantastic mouthfeel and superb balance, fresh acidity and wonderful hints of citrus fruit and some more exotic ones - can’t believe I should keep my hands off it for another couple years, it’s already so good!
