Tasting note Latour-Giraud Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime
This rich and full-bodied Latour-Giraud Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime has notes of butter, nuts, apple, and spice on the nose. On the palate, it has a round entry, creamy yet elegant, with finesse provided by the minerals and beautiful acidity. Good integration of the oak, characteristic butteriness, mineral-driven, complex, and absolutely gastronomic. In short, fantastic quality for a 'regular' Meursault: roundness but also exciting acidity! Light yellow to yellow color.
Food & Wine
Latour-Giraud Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime pairs wonderfully with shellfish and crustaceans, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, trout, eel), charcuterie, pasta, and mild, soft cheeses.
Additional information
Winemaker Jean Pierre Latour creates beautiful and refined wines that enjoy great international acclaim. He is a quiet man, averse to status and reputation.
Grapes have been grown at Domaine Latour-Giraud since 1680, and this has been taking place in Meursault since 1848. Around 1980, the decision was made to bottle the wine themselves rather than supplying it to merchants. It is still a trend for grape growers in Burgundy to start making their own wine. This is the reason why merchants are increasingly buying their own vineyards to maintain their position.
The family business is now led by Jean-Pierre Latour, who is assisted by his sister Florence, among others. The estate spans 10 hectares, of which 80% is dedicated to white grapes and 20% to red grapes. The Chardonnay vineyards are almost all located in Meursault within the village appellation and premier cru. The red grapes grow primarily in premier cru vineyards in Pommard (Refène) and Volnay (Clos des Chênes). The company enjoys great international recognition, such as up to 95 points from Robert Parker for one of their white wines.
The Latour-Giraud Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime is a very fine Meursault in terms of price, made by a fantastic, authentic house.
