The 2021 Domaine Vincent Latour Meursault 1er Cru Perrières is a top-tier white Burgundy crafted from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from one of Meursault’s most prestigious and mineral-driven Premier Cru vineyards. It reflects the hallmark Perrières style—focused, structured and intensely terroir-driven. The nose is elegant and complex, showing citrus peel, white flowers and nectarine, layered with hints of spice, light oak and a distinctive stony character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a concentrated, mouthcoating texture, vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle spice lead to a long, precise and slightly austere finish that promises excellent ageing potential. The style is refined and structured, prioritising tension, minerality and finesse over richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Meursault for customers seeking a more mineral-driven, serious white Burgundy compared to richer styles like Charmes. It’s ideal for collectors or those who appreciate precision and ageing potential in Chardonnay. Best from 2025 onwards or cellar for 10–15 years. Perfect with lobster, shellfish, fine seafood or classic French cuisine.
