Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault Les Narvaux 2022

The Girauds have called Meursault home since 1850, and the Latours since the 17th century. This has been enough time for the small 11-hectare domaine to acquire some of the best terroirs in the region, all of which are cultivated organically. In times of scarcity in Burgundy, the producer has granted us the allocation of just one of his cuvées, but a very special one: his Meursault Charles Maxime, which in 2021 has been upgraded to include the 1er Crus Perrières, Bouchères and Porusots, due to its tiny yields.

Score: 92-94 Jasper Morris
"There is a backbone to this wine, and a sense of precision, which is deeply impressive. Then comes the flesh you would expect from this relatively sunny summer. This wine makes quite a statement. Good natural acidity is part of the equation. Complex and complete agrees Jean-Pierre. 55 year old vines which never over-produce."
