Since Jean-Pierre Latour took over his father, the improvement has been nothing short of miraculous. And this is to be welcomed as they are the largest single holder in Meursault 1er cru Genevrieres, the 1er cru that is the essence of typical Meursault, opulent and exotic.

Today, Jean-Pierre Latour runs the 10 ha with the help of his sister Florence. Domaine Latour-Giraud is specialized in the white wines which represent 85 % of its production. With 2,5 ha in Meursault Genevrieres, Domaine Latour-Giraud is the most important owner of this superb premier cru. They also have vines in 1er crus Les Perrieres, Les Boucheres, Les Poruzots, and Les Charmes. Jean-Pierre Latour is a man of few words, he lets the wines speak for themselves.

This Meursault Cuv?e Charles Maxime from Domaine Latour-Giraud is a blend of the Lieux-dits of Les Vireuils, Les Corbins and Les Pelles.
A plump, rich and generous wine, it is fermented and matured in barrel, around a 1/3 of which are new oak, for 15-16 months.

On the nose citrus, lemon and almonds with a touch of green olive and dried hay followed by toasted almonds and lemon confit.
