Meursault 1er Cru "Château de Blagny"
Côte de Beaune, Burgundy
Chardonnay | 750ml | Premier Cru
An exclusive monopole of Maison Louis Latour, the Meursault Premier Cru “Château de Blagny” hails from vineyards perched high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny‑Montrachet. The vines, averaging 30 years of age, are rooted in stony marl and Jurassic limestone, producing a wine of clear expression and finesse
Following hand‑harvest, fermentation takes place traditionally in French oak barrels, with complete malolactic conversion. The wine matures for 8–10 months in oak, about 35% of which is new from the Louis Latour cooperage (medium toast).

Tasting Notes
Description
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. Surprisingly for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more than compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Château de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Château de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
