Tasting notes
This has excellent balance of the textural complexity that has made this appellation so popular around the world. Lovely orange blossom and lemon tart character, plus a stony freshness that lifts the generous richness and body of this beautiful wine. Drink or hold.

Meursault-Blagny sits high on the slope, just under the tree line, on the border with Puligny-Montrachet. The cooler locale explains why the white wines from this appellation are always racier and more delicate than other Meursault Premier Crus. Latour’s 2022 supplements that profile with refined power and an engaging floral component. A lively mineral aspect dances on the palate. Although hard to resist now, my experience with Latour’s Meursault Blagny says the 2022 will evolve beautifully over a decade—if you can keep your corkscrew away from it. 93 Michael Apstein
This white is concentrated, offering a texture bordering on viscous, yet remains light on its feet through the finish, with apple, lemon and oak spice flavors defined by bright acidity. Drink now. 1,900 cases made, 510 cases imported.
About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
