LATOUR-GIRAUD

Meursault 1er cru Genevrières Cuvée des Pierre 2014

(Latour had two one-year-old barrels of this juice, representing a yield of just 12 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, light yellow. Tight, slightly metallic aromas of soft citrus fruits, peppermint and menthol, lifted by ineffable high-pitched spice oils. Then shockingly dense, brisk and deep in the mouth; a wine of almost voluptuous dimension but penetrating acidity and powerful minerality give the mid-palate outstanding definition. This potentially great wine will need time to harmonize but it already hints at the sweetness to come. The chewy, extract-rich finish goes on and on.
