WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Latour-Giraud winery in the Meursault appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Genevrières vineyard, which is known for its limestone-rich soil and ideal south-east facing slope. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Meursault terroir, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
