Louis Latour Meursault-Blagny Chateau de Blagny Premier Cru 2023

This 2023 Premier Cru is a sophisticated and high-altitude expression of Chardonnay, harvested from the historic Château de Blagny estate overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. It displays a brilliant pale gold colour with emerald highlights. The nose is remarkably aromatic and complex, opening with scents of acacia blossoms, ripe white peach, and fresh citrus, layered with elegant notes of toasted brioche, vanilla, and a hint of smoky flint. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous, showcasing a beautiful tension between its rich, buttery texture and a vibrant, linear acidity. Distinctive mineral notes of wet stone and hazelnut emerge mid-palate, leading to an exceptionally long and graceful finish that leaves a persistent trail of citrus zest and refined oak spice.

95 Points - James Suckling

There's a lovely freshness and tension here with aromas of sliced lemons, white peaches, struck match, flint, orange blossoms and butter cookies. The midweight palate is fleshed out with a generous mouthfeel, balanced acidity and a slight phenolic edge. Great minerality and purity with an underlying power.
