The perfect south-easterly exposure and the stony, marl soil contribute greatly to the remarkable finesse of which the wines of Meursault are capable. Typical Meursault tend to be very full, mellow wines and mature somewhat sooner than the wines from the neighbouring communes of Puligny and Chassagne.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAGING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 to 10 months ageing in oak barrels, 15% new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARRELS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLouis Latour cooperage, French oak, medium toasted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur Meursault Blanc 2020 has a nice pale gold hue. On the nose, it reveals aromas of yellow fruits accompanied by vanilla notes. Nice roundness in the mouth with notes of fresh almond. The finish is balanced by melted wood and a beautiful minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRINGS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrawn cocktail avocado - grilled sea bass - stew of veal in a cream sauce - Beaufort cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUSTAINABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"column_0_0\" class=\"column\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"styleTexteStyle styleBoiteTexte\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eRespect for terroir is one of the fundamental values of Maison Louis Latour, who have practised reasoned agriculture (certified ISO14001) for almost 20 years. Understanding and interpreting the geological complexity of each parcel is indispensable, and it is for this reason that we regularly undertake soil analysis of entire slices of earth in order to study the interaction between the terroir and our wines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf a noble terroir is undoubtedly one of the essential elements in the production of a great wine, the work of our highly qualified team is also crucial and highly valuable. Extreme rigour and meticulous care are necessary when applying the correct gestures and techniques, notably when pruning and leaf thinning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHealthy soil is also primordial for the development of the vines, which is why Maison Louis Latour uses specific organic techniques to combat vine pests and diseases. These organic substances also reduce the need for pesticides. Maison Louis Latour also makes its own compost (around 70 tonnes) from vine pruning wood and grape skins - a by-product of pressing - thus eliminating the use of chemical fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraditional viticultural methods have been perpetuated by Maison Louis Latour. Young vines on steep slopes -making access difficult for machines - are ploughed using horses. Working in this way avoids compacting the earth and allows the vine root systems to plunge deeply into the soil to better regulate their water intake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379959595221,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_SGWS300","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/TSproductimagecopy_1e7059c4-b85f-4c85-b837-9db966746d7d.png?v=1744808767","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/louis-latour-meursault-2020","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
