{"product_id":"vincent-latour-meursault-perrieres-blanc-premier-cru-2023","title":"Domaine Vincent Latour Meursault Premier Cru 'Perrieres' 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from France in the Burgundy region, specifically within the premier tier of the Meursault appellation in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Vincent Latour Meursault Premier Cru 'Perrières' 2023 represents an aristocratic, electric, and cellaring grade expression of Premier Cru Chardonnay. Managed under the dedicated stewardship of Vincent Latour and Cécile Latour, the estate traces its roots back through centuries of Burgundian viticulture, undergoing a complete quality-focused transformation that incorporates organic principles, longer lees aging, and flexible barrel shapes including demi-muids and foudres. Sourced from 'Perrières', widely revered as Meursault's finest and most Grand Cru-adjacent climate, the vines sit on steep, stony terraces featuring thin topsoils over hard bathonian limestone subsoils and gravelly scree. The winemaking philosophy combines hand harvesting, long whole-cluster pneumatic pressing, native yeast fermentation, and barrel aging in French oak (approximately 20% to 25% new) with extended lees contact without heavy lees stirring, yielding a white Burgundy of laser-like precision, profound minerality, and immense aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine presents a clear, luminous pale gold colour with brilliant greenish-yellow reflections along the rim. An expressive, highly complex bouquet opens with noble aromas of Meyer lemon curd, green orchard apple, white peach, and fresh pear, interwoven with subtle notes of crushed chalk, wet flint, white acacia blossoms, toasted hazelnut, and delicate French oak spice. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied, chiseled, and intensely concentrated, delivering laser-focused flavours of lemon zest, white stone fruit, and saline mineral iron, all anchored by a piercing, mouthwatering spine of natural acidity. Framed by a satiny yet taut texture derived from subtle lees contact and a driving mid-palate structure, it concludes with an exceptionally long, persistent finish marked by lingering citrus, roasted almond, and a distinct, lingering limestone grip. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, this 2023 release offers an optimal drinking window of 2027–2040+. Stylistically, it combines the sunlit purity and freshness of the 2023 vintage with 'Perrières' benchmark tension, depth, and structural authority.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300464 - Nobilis Wine Importers Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44271600861271,"sku":"843385-2","price":303.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/vincentlatourmeursault.jpg?v=1789403382","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/vincent-latour-meursault-perrieres-blanc-premier-cru-2023","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
