An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the Château de Blagny is located high on the hillside overlooking the villages of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. A wonderful wine traditionally vinified and matured in small oak barrels. It displays all the attributes of an exemplary white Burgundy showing oppulence and a mineral freshness coupled with rich, fat flavours that develop overtime.
Tasting note
Meursault Premier Cru has lightly toasty aromas of acacia flowers and honey. The palate is has fresh balanced acidity and pronounced mineral characters. It has impressive length and leaves pear and citrus fruit flavours in the mouth.
Awards and Accolades
90 Points, Burghound (USA) June 2011
"A relatively reserved nose featured notes of lemon rind, acacia blossom and a hint of wet stone that carries over to the rich and round yet nicely detailed and energetic flavors that possess good underlying tension on the attractively lemony finish. I like the balance and delivery as this is light on the palate but not banal." Drink 2015+

'Lustrous gold. On both nose and palate, minerality, precision, with a burgeoning richness. Plenty of substance, withal. Ageworthy.' Michael Edwards
