Latour Vincent, Meursault "Grands Charrons" 2024 750ml (New Arrival - New Vintage - Introductory Price)

Latour Vincent Meursault "Grands Charrons" 2024 is a concentrated and beautifully balanced white Burgundy from Domaine Vincent Latour, the historic Meursault estate run by Vincent Latour and his wife, Cécile. Formerly known as Domaine Latour-Labille, the domaine dates back to 1792 and is recognized for producing Chardonnay with generous texture, precision, freshness and a strong expression of terroir.

Grands Charrons is one of the most highly regarded village-level climats of Meursault, known for producing wines with impressive depth, structure and mineral character. Vincent Latour works with vines planted in 1956, 1988 and 1989, giving this bottling a significant proportion of mature and old-vine fruit.

The wine is fermented and aged in demi-muids on the lees for approximately 12 months, without lees stirring. This restrained élevage allows the wine to develop richness and texture naturally while preserving freshness, tension and clarity.

The 2024 Grands Charrons shows the classic generosity of Meursault, with aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, citrus, white flowers and subtle hazelnut. The palate is broad and layered, with excellent concentration, a silky texture and a fine mineral backbone that keeps the wine energetic and precise.

As it opens, the wine reveals additional notes of lemon zest, orchard fruit, gentle spice and lightly savory complexity. The finish is long, persistent and beautifully structured, combining the richness associated with Meursault with the freshness and tension that define Vincent Latour's style.

With its excellent vineyard position, mature vines and careful élevage, Grands Charrons offers a particularly serious expression of village Meursault. It has the depth to drink impressively now with some air, but also the structure and balance to develop beautifully with additional bottle age.
