Maison Louis Latour Mâcon-Lugny, Les Genièvres 2022 – Mâcon-Lugny

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose is aromatic and offers roundness, notes of fleshy stone fruits (yellow peach, yellow plum, apricot), ripe citrus fruits (yellow lemon, a hint of bitter orange and grapefruit), a slight gourmand and enveloped touch of oak (roasted hazelnut, a hint of vanilla), as well as acacia honey, white flowers (apple blossom, honeysuckle) and brown butter. On the palate, the wine is supple, silky, very savoury, with a round and ample, but refined texture. It expresses the flavors of yellow peach, ripe apricot, candied lemon, fresh lemon, a touch of butter (brown butter), toast (slightly roasted hazelnut), honey, acacia, honeysuckle and yellow pear in the background. A salivating acidity and a slight bitterness come at the end of the palate to balance the roundness of the texture. The finish is persistent, toasty and gourmand.
