With nAt - meursault tasting - Domaine Latour-Giraud 2020 between village level (cuvée Charles Maxime) and it’s bigger brothe 1er cru - Genevrieres
This one is very straight forward from beginning. In contrast with it”s bigger brother, the Genevrieres - Meursault from same producer. Only when time pass by around 60 min. It start to give way to the Genevrieres for the last 2 hours. This one is full blown with almost ripe fruits forwards present from beginning. But after one hour the taste is rather flat with no further improvement but still with pleasant minerally nutty buttery characteristic. Rather long finish. Impressive.

Very flattering, much more open and accessible than I anticipated, quite a bit of vanilla from the oak alongside a full rich palate but all with a lovely freshness. My instinct is that this has not yet closed down, my memory of this wine is that it is usually very tight in youth but not on this occasion. A lovely touch of noisette and thoroughly enjoyed as we chatted pre-dinner.
