Maison Louis Latour - Meursault 1er cru « Château de Blagny » 2022

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

Founded in 1797, this family-run business has strong links with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, culminating in a sumptuous site on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latour, presides over the family board and has every confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have had their fermentation times extended, giving them more flesh and body, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant quest for balance that sometimes makes them undervalued in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015, in both colors, but we'll trust the cuvées from the estate's vines more than certain purchases, especially the overly diluted whites.

About the wine:

This wine has an excellent balance of the textural complexity that has made this appellation so popular around the world. Orange blossom and lemon tart have a charming character and stony freshness that enhances the generous richness and body of this fine wine. For drinking or cellaring.

Vert de Vin

About the wine:

The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color. The nose is somewhat reserved, but offers density, greediness and notes of fresh vanilla, honey and candied lemon peel at first taste. After aeration, aromas of lime blossom, acacia, apple blossom, juicy stone fruit (apricot, yellow peach, mirabelle plum), orange jam and a hint of roasting (toasted hazelnut with a hint of caramelized hazelnut, raw almond), combined with a tangy hint of lime and lemon zest. The palate has a savory spiciness (vanilla, cardamom), a hint of wood (roasted hazelnut, dried almond) and a touch of honey. Midpalate notes of yellow peach, apricot, candied lemon peel, fresh pineapple, as well as toasted wood (in the background), nutty butter and wax. The finish is delicately perfumed, but quite persistent. Juicy stone-fruit notes begin, evolving into honey, toast and floral notes. Beautiful salivating acidity, complexity and harmony.
