LATOUR-GIRAUD

Meursault 1er cru Charmes 2010

- 93 points -

Bright pale yellow. Subtle, pure aromas of white peach, lemon, vanilla and minerals. Bright and tight, with lovely acidity giving the wine precision and lightness. Sharply delineated, energetic and firmly structured wine; harmonious already but this is still a baby. A very promising vintage for this cuvee, which Latour believes has been much improved since 2008 and especially 2009. "Previously I focused on the Charles Maxime and the Genevrieres because they were our flagships, and the Charmes was a bit anonymous."

Stephen Tanzer, September 2012
