LATOUR-GIRAUD

Meursault Les Narvaux 2011

- 91 points -

"Bright medium yellow. Ripe stone fruits and hazelnut on the nose; very Meursault. Yellow fruit and honey flavors are complicated by saline minerality and framed by firm-edged acidity. Shows building sweetness with air but this is also impressively taut for the vintage. Finishes seriously chewy, saline and pure. These old vines were especially vulnerable to the cold temperatures during flowering, said Latour, and the yield here was barely 30 hectoliters per hectare. The 4.8 grams per liter of acidity is the highest level among these 2011s."

Antonio Galloni, September 2013
