Meursault Cuvee Charles Maxime, Domaine Latour-Giraud
Vintage 2023
750 ML
HK$558.00
Score: BH89
(from the Domaine founders of Charles Giraud and Maxime Latour – the fruit derives from multiple lieux-dits that include Les Corbins, Le Cromin, Les Chevalières, Les Crotots, Les Vireuils, Les Pelles, Le Limozin and Les Malpoiriers). Smoky aromas of acacia blossom, toasted nuts, citrus confit and pear are trimmed in all but invisible wood. There is notably better volume and richness to the even punchier medium weight flavors that possess a caressing texture that contrasts with the bright, lemony, clean dry and focused finale. This is very good for its level and also worth checking out. Drink: 2028+. (Jun 2025)

| Producer Info | The Domaine operates out of the Giraud family premises – there have been Girauds in Meursaults since 1850 and Latours since at least the 17th century. The Domaine now covers 11 hectares, and is farmed organically by Jean-Pierre Latour. The whites are direct pressed, settled if necessary, then encouraged to start to ferment in tank before transfer to barrel, with 20% new wood for the village wines and no more than 25% for the whites, all in the traditional 228 litre size. The wines are racked to tank after 11 months and bottled early the following year. The approach here is classical and Jean-Pierre’s formula works very well to make un-showy but intense and intricate white wines. |
