2022 Louis Latour Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru, Cote de Beaune

Louis Latour Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru from Côte de Beaune is an exquisite expression of Burgundian Chardonnay, sourced from one of Meursault's most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Known for its elegant balance of richness and minerality, this wine reflects the exceptional terroir of the Genevrières climat, where limestone-rich soils and ideal sun exposure create Chardonnay of remarkable depth and complexity.

In the glass, it presents a radiant pale gold hue with hints of green. The nose is instantly captivating, offering aromas of ripe white peach, lemon zest, and pear, intertwined with delicate notes of toasted almond, acacia blossom, and a touch of flinty minerality. Subtle hints of vanilla and buttered brioche reflect careful oak aging, adding further complexity without overpowering the vibrant fruit.

On the palate, the wine is beautifully textured, combining creamy richness with refreshing acidity. Layers of citrus, stone fruit, and green apple unfold, balanced by a fine mineral core and a whisper of saline freshness. The finish is long, precise, and elegant, leaving lingering notes of hazelnut, grapefruit pith, and a touch of spice.

This Meursault Genevrières pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, seared scallops, or roasted chicken with tarragon. It also complements creamy risottos, aged cheeses, and delicate vegetable dishes. While drinking beautifully now, it has the structure to age gracefully for 8–12 years, gaining further complexity while maintaining its vibrant core.

Louis Latour’s Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru is a true testament to the elegance and power of Premier Cru white Burgundy—refined, expressive, and unforgettable.
