Meursault Cuvée Saint Jean Domaine Vincent Latour 2021

A beautifully textured and layered Meursault revealing abundant aromas of lemon, peach, and apricot with an underlying hint of sweet honey and cream. The palate has crisp acidity leading to citrus and white stone fruits with a little subtle toasted oak. Lovely now, but will undoubtedly age gracefully.

The Latour-Labille family boast a long, rich history and have been making wine in Meursault since 1792. Vincent Latour took over the family Domaine in 1998 from his father Jean, and then when joined by his wife, Cécile, changed the name from Domaine Jean Latour et Labille, to Domaine Latour from the 2010 vintage. Since his arrival Vincent has implemented many changes, and in turn improvements, from the inclusion of whole cluster fermentation, adaptation of demi-muids and foudres, as well as longer élévage (12 months in old or large oak, followed by 4 to 6 months in stainless steel vats without any bâtonnage to avoid masking fruit).
