The 2021 Domaine Vincent Latour Meursault 1er Cru Charmes is a beautifully refined Chardonnay from one of Meursault's most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Crafted by Domaine Vincent Latour, this wine showcases the richness and elegance for which Charmes is renowned, offering layered aromas of lemon zest, white peach and ripe pear, complemented by hazelnut, butter and delicate toasted oak. The limestone-rich soils and careful barrel ageing contribute both depth and precision.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy, textured mouthfeel balanced by vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and roasted almond are supported by subtle oak spice and a fine mineral backbone, leading to a long, harmonious finish with impressive freshness and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru White Burgundy for those who appreciate elegant, age-worthy Chardonnay. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2036 for added complexity. Pair with butter-poached lobster, grilled turbot, roast chicken with morel mushrooms or mature Comté cheese.
