LATOUR-GIRAUD - Meursault Cuvee Charles Maxime - 2016

LATOUR-GIRAUD

Meursault Cuvee Charles Maxime 2016

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). Here too there is a whiff of matchstick to the ripe aromas of pear, apple and hazelnut that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. In the same fashion as the Bourgogne, there is a lavish richness to the medium-bodied flavors that also flash a hint of citrus zest on the clean and dry finish.

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.
