Domaine Latour-Giraud Volnay 1° Cru Clos des Chênes 2022
Jasper Morris MW: “A bright medium deep purple. Like the Meursault, but unlike the village Pommard, the 2022 Refène shows an explosion of succulent red berry fruit on the nose. Here there is a little more depth on the palate and a savoury touch with a bit of blood orange from iron oxide in the soil. The structure is built equally on tannins and acidity. Stylish, fine, and capable of good ageing. Drink from 2028-2035.” ****
Domaine Latour-Giraud is one of Meursault’s most “classic” producers. Jean-Pierre Latour works entirely organically, albeit without certification. The white wines are rich but also very nuanced and develop beautifully in the bottle.
This first vintage of Latour-Giraud’s Coteaux Bourguignons Blanc is a great opportunity to get to know the house’s style, very beautiful white Burgundy.
