Domaine Vincent Latour is one of Meursault's most storied estates, with roots stretching back to 1792. Formerly known as Domaine Latour-Labille, the domaine is today guided by Vincent Latour and his wife, Cécile, with an unwavering focus on Chardonnay that balances generous texture with freshness, tension, and a clear sense of place. Their approach is rooted in respect for the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar.
This Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from several parcels totaling approximately two hectares situated within the village of Meursault — a remarkable provenance for a wine carrying the broader Bourgogne appellation. The vines span a wide range of ages, with the oldest planted in 1957 and the youngest in 2019, contributing both depth and freshness to the blend.
After harvest, the grapes are crushed and the must is carefully settled before fermentation. The wine is then aged for approximately 10 to 12 months in a combination of foudres and barrels, with only around 10% new oak. Vincent Latour increasingly favors larger-format vessels, which allow the wine to develop texture and complexity while preserving the purity and precision of the fruit.
The 2024 vintage opens with inviting aromas of ripe orchard fruit, fresh citrus, and subtle white flowers, underpinned by a fine, stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is rounded and gently creamy yet remains energetic and precise — showing understated oak, lively acidity, and a clean, persistent finish that speaks clearly of its Meursault origins.
