Maison Louis Latour Château de Blagny, Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru 2022 – Meursault-Blagny

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose is a little reserved, but offers density, gourmandise and notes of fresh vanilla, honey and candied lemon peel on the first nose. After aeration, we find the aromas of linden flowers, acacia, apple blossom, juicy stone fruits (apricot, yellow peach, mirabelle plum), orange jam and a light touch of torrefaction (toasted hazelnut, with a hint of caramelized hazelnut, raw almond), combined with a tangy hint of lime and yellow lemon zest. The palate expresses a savoury spiciness (vanilla, cardamom), a hint of wood (roasted hazelnut, dried almond), as well as a touch of honey. In the mid-palate, we find notes of yellow peach, apricot, candied lemon peel, fresh pineapple, as well as toasted wood (in the background), browned butter and wax. The finish is delicately perfumed, but quite persistent. We first sense notes of juicy stone fruits, which then evolve into honeyed, toasted and floral notes. Beautiful salivating acidity, complexity and harmony.
