We have the 2024 Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières today in the extremely rare 375ml half-bottle format, and this is one of the very few white Burgundies of this caliber we have seen in this size! Genevrières is one of Meursault's great Premier Cru vineyards, and it is particularly important at Latour-Giraud, which owns 2.5 hectares and is the largest proprietor in the vineyard. The domaine’s vines sit in the upper Genevrières Dessus section, where limestone-rich soils give the wine tremendous mineral tension and finesse alongside Meursault's natural richness. The 2024 is an especially refined expression, showing orchard fruit, lemon zest and subtle floral and herbal notes over a distinctly stony, mineral core. The wine shows excellent concentration, but remains elegant, precise, and energetic, with the kind of balance that should let it develop beautifully in the cellar. Half bottles of serious white Burgundy are becoming remarkably difficult to find, particularly from a site and producer of this level, and the format is perfect when a full bottle is more than you need. For anyone who loves Meursault, this is a rare opportunity to put away one of Latour-Giraud’s signature wines in an exceptionally useful and increasingly uncommon format!

Jasper Morris 94-96 points! " Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet has a striking elegance, more understated than the Poruzots and Charmes. Complex though, with the interweaving of several elements, lightly herbal as well as orchard fruit. Lemon zest further back, less fruit sweetness, more a savoury touch, then some fine stony notes infusing the fruit at the finish. Such detail and refinement!"
