Cellar

Domaine LATOUR-GIRAUD is located in Meursault, in the most popular region of Burgundy, that of the Grands Vins Blancs de la Cote de Beaune. It specialises in white wines, which account for 85% of its production. The history of the LATOUR-GIRAUD estate spans three centuries and dates back to the end of the 17th century. The vineyard managed by the Domaine LATOUR-GIRAUD covers approximately ten hectares producing only wines with a controllable designation of origin, of which approximately 85% are white wines and 15% red wines. Most of the white vineyards are located in the five appellations of the I Cru de Meursault: Les Genevrières, Les Charmes, Les Perrières, Les Bouchères and Le Poruzot. With 2.5Ha in Meursault Genevrières, Domaine LATOUR-GIRAUD is the most important owner of this superb 1er Cru. It also owns a 1er Cru plot on the northern edge of Puligny-Montrachet, with a Champs-Canet climate. The complex is completed by plots in the Meursault designation such as Le Limozin, Les Narvaux and Clos du Cromin.

Description

The Chardonnay grapes for Genevrières 1er Cru come from the best plots in the Genevrières vineyard, known for its excellent climatic conditions and soil characteristics. The vines are cultivated according to an environmentally friendly cultivation method, which emphasises the natural variety and terroir.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Luminous golden yellow. The nose develops a multifaceted aromatic interplay with floral nuances, fresh lemon citrus, and delicate hints of wood and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is both powerful and elegant, with a harmonious structure and a mineral finish that guarantees longevity. Flavours of ripe pears, peaches and a hint of nuts complete the taste experience, making it an unmistakable pleasure.

Storage time: 

2-10 years

Vinification 

The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripeness to ensure the best quality. After the harvest, a gentle pressing takes place, followed by a controlled fermentation that preserves the grapes' unique aromas.
