"On the nose citrus, lemon and almonds with a touch of green olive and dried hay. The wine still has plenty to give and will open in the glass to show toasted almonds and lemon confit. A classy wine that deserves a beautiful piece of roasted monkfish."
Jean-Pierre Latour has 10 hectares under vine in Meursault. Wonderfully sited vineyards, low yields, brilliant winemaking and no fining or filtration, make this one of the most exciting domaines in the village at present. The domaine is currently in organic conversion.
The Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime (a blend of Les Vireuils, Les Corbins and Les Pelles) is plump, rich and generous. The wine is fermented and matured in barrel (around 1/3 new) for 15-16 months.
