2016 Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières
Latour-Giraud
The vineyards of Genevrières total 16 hectares in the heart of the Meursault premiers crus, south of the village. The name of the appellation comes from the juniper trees that used to grow there. Domaine Latour-Giraud is the most important owner of this fabulous premier cru, with 2.5Ha. Along with Perrières, this would be considered by most to be Meursault’s top premier cru. The wines have exquisite structure. Round, deep and smooth, it also has great elegance, finesse and raciness.

Toasted nuts, smoke, mint and white chocolate, stonefruit. Smooth, gliding and pushing through though the mouth, some sizzled butter, ripe acidity, bursting and bright through the long finish. Excellent.

Pale, bright yellow. A musky essence of Meursault on the nose and palate: stone fruits, lime and hazelnut, plus a hint of oak char. This very tactile, saline wine shows less early sweetness than the Charmes (it's a bit less advanced today) but it's more complex and profound even if its components are not yet in perfect harmony. The long finish leaves behind a note of honey. This deep wine boasts terrific stuffing and should be a beauty.

Naturally exotic aromas are composed of Asian-style tea and the essence of pear and acacia blossom. The middle weight flavors possess both a finer mouth feel as well as more minerality though not the same power as this is almost delicate on the cool, pure and admirably well-balanced finale. Lovely stuff.
