Domaine Latour-Giraud
Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay
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.

Feb 7th, 2022Yummy! A touch ripe with quince, tangerine and kumquat on the nose. Expansive yet defined palate and a long finish. Very meursault and shows genevrieres climat nicely. This producer is pretty high in my book these days

May 28th, 2021Limpid rock pools and lemon confit. Great meursault attack: bright, floral, sharp-edged. Good structure and definition and excellent acidity.

Sep 2nd, 2019Real purity and polish on this. A nose of preserved lemon and white flowers. Real power and persistence on the mid palate with suave and intense citrus, a hint of honey and lovely bracing acidity.
