Jean-Pierre Latour is a quiet man from Meursault, averse to prestige and reputation. He makes beautiful wines (powerful whites and refined reds) that enjoy international acclaim. Grapes have been grown at Domaine Latour-Giraud since 1680, and in Meursault since 1848. Around 1980, the decision was made to bottle the wine themselves and no longer supply merchants. It remains a trend for grape growers in Burgundy to start making their own wine. This is why merchants are increasingly buying up vineyards to maintain their position. The family business is now led by Jean-Pierre Latour, assisted by his sister Florence, among others. The estate comprises 10 hectares, 80% of which are white and 20% of which are red grapes. The Chardonnay vineyards are almost all located in Meursault, in the commune's appellation and are classified as premier cru. The red grapes are grown primarily in premier cru vineyards in Pommard (Refène) and Volnay (Clos des Chênes). The company enjoys considerable international recognition, including a 92-point rating from Robert Parker (2015 vintage – later vintage not yet rated) for one of its white wines.

The Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is, in our opinion, one of the finest Meursault wines. While it is certainly full-bodied and powerful, what makes this Meursault so special is its beautiful minerality. In the glass, the wine has a medium yellow hue. The nose reveals brioche, butter, nuts, honey, spices, and white and riper yellow fruit. The palate is rounded, with good oak integration, creamy yet elegant, and refined by the minerals and lovely acidity. It has a long finish, with prominent minerality. All in all, the Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a robust white Burgundy from a beautiful (very small) vineyard where minerality plays a prominent role.
