Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a white wine of exceptional class, from one of the most highly regarded vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault. Produced by Domaine Latour-Giraud, a renowned winery known for their finesse and elegance, this Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a masterpiece of winemaking.
The grapes for this wine come from the prestigious Genevrières vineyard, located on a southwest-facing slope with calcareous clay soil. This unique terroir ensures that the grapes contain intense concentration and aromas.
After manual harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented on natural yeasts in traditional oak barrels. The wine then matures in the cellar for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage and desired style.
Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières reveals a complex and varied palette of aromas. Think white fruit, citrus fruits, peach, honey, mineral notes, and hints of toast and brioche after ripening. The taste is rich and full, with a perfect balance between fresh acidity and ripe fruit. The wine has a long, complex aftertaste with a mineral touch that remains long in the memory.
Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is perfect to serve with dishes with white meat, fish, shellfish, poultry and creamy sauces. The wine can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or with a cheese plate with rich cheeses.
