Tasting notes
Being fined but in fine tasting form, the Meursault Goutte d'Or possesses aromas of sweet red currants and a flavor profile packed with crisp berries intermingled with toasted nuts. This forward, medium-to-full-bodied wine is not made for long-term aging, but it will drink well for 7 or so years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. At Louis Latour the wine making is entrusted to Jean-Pierre Jobard, the brother of Francois and Charles Jobard, two well-known names in Meursault. Jobard commented that the acid in 1995 reminded him of the 1988. Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.

About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
