Bourgogne Chardonnay, Domaine Latour-Giraud
Vintage 2020
750 ML
HK$258.00
Score: BH87
This had just been bottled before my visit and there was a background hint of sulfur to the aromas of petrol, smoke and very pretty apple and pear scents. There is excellent punch and delineation to the delicious flavors that conclude in a nicely dry, crisp, lemony and lingering finish. This is a fine Bourgogne that should repay a few years of keeping if desired.
*Outstanding*

| 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. |
