2024 Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru "Genevrières Cuvee des Pierres" (1.5L)

Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet is more backward for this super-cuvée than the regular Genevrières. Extra tension here, a surfeit of ripe lemons. Now some oak. I think that this will take time to deliver all its dimensions. Jean-Pierre Latour has had to switch the plot for this cuvée, having had to pull out the original vineyard. Now the vines come from the extreme top left of Genevrières, a plot called Chaumes de Perrières even though it is in Genevrières. This explains why it doesn’t have quite its usual profile. The vines are the same age as before, 55 years old. This version does not seem to me to have quite the same texture, less silky and more muscular, with a tannic finish. Drink from 2030-2038.
