Meursault \"Goutte d'Or\" is the first Premier Cru found when leaving the village in the direction of Puligny-Montrachet. The parcel of vines was given this name ('drop of gold') because of the quantity of flint in the soil. These flints have both the shape and colour of 'drops of gold'. Entirely like the drops of wine which this land produces! The wine itself is as one would expect it to be with a powerful nose and rich palate. The wine prefered by Thomas Jefferson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAGING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e8 to 10 months ageing in oak barrels, 50% new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARRELS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003eLouis Latour cooperage, French oak, medium toasted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003eOur Meursault 1er Cru \"Goutte d'Or\" 2019 has a beautiful pale golden color.

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 \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379959890133,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_SGWS304","price":146.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/TSproductimagecopy_09dece3d-b4ec-48c1-90dd-0703059f265a.png?v=1744808779","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/louis-latour-meursault-goutte-dor-2019","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
