Vintage 2021
750 ML

Score: BH91-94
A slightly riper nose also displays a hint of phenolic character on the aromas of white and yellow peach, acacia blossom and a subtle application of wood. While not quite as dense on the palate, the medium-bodied flavors still possess very fine concentration along with evident power and energy that carries over to the balanced and long finish that flashes excellent complexity if not quite the same refinement, indeed it is borderline rustic, something that is most unusual for a prime Puligny 1er. This is however even more tightly wound and if ageworthy white Burgundy is appealing to you, look no further.

| 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. |
