LATOUR-GIRAUD

Meursault 1er cru Charmes 2021

(from 35+ year old vines in Charmes Dessus). Pungent aromas of wood, reduction and a hint of
phenolic character render the nose unreadable today. More interesting are the dense, powerful and almost painfully intense
larger-scaled flavors that also soak the palate with sappy dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine
shaping the bone-dry, moderately austere and impressively long finale. This is extremely promising.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
