Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle for the person who already loves white Burgundy, or the one you'd like to introduce to it properly. A 2022 Premier Cru from Maison Louis Latour's monopole vineyards at Château de Blagny, it was fermented in oak barrels, went through complete malolactic fermentation, and spent 8 to 10 months in 35% new French oak from the house's own cooperage. In the glass, expect pale gold with green glints, then ripe pear, apple, toasted almond and a touch of wet stone. The palate is creamy yet bright, with baked apple, lemon curd, honey and hazelnut, finishing long with a saline edge and buttered brioche. It makes a considered gift for a promotion, an anniversary dinner, or a host who cooks seriously. The recipient can open it now with lobster or roast chicken, or lay it down: its balance suggests it will gain complexity over the next 5 to 10 years, which makes it a thoughtful choice for marking a milestone.
Pairs well with
- Sole Meunière — The wine's creamy texture and lemon curd notes echo the brown butter and citrus of this classic French dish.
- Buttery lobster or crab — Bright acidity and a saline finish cut through rich shellfish while the hazelnut and brioche notes complement the butter.
- Promotion or anniversary dinner — A Premier Cru white Burgundy that can be opened now or cellared for years makes a celebratory gift that marks the moment with real thought.
Questions about this bottle
How is this wine made and aged?
It is fermented in oak barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, then aged for 8 to 10 months in 35% new French oak sourced from the Louis Latour cooperage. That approach gives the Chardonnay its creamy texture while the hillside vineyards keep the acidity bright.
What does it taste like?
Expect ripe pear, apple, toasted almond and vanilla on the nose, with citrus zest and wet stone. The palate brings baked apple, lemon curd, honey, hazelnut and gentle oak spice, finishing long with a saline edge and notes of buttered brioche.
Should it be opened now or cellared?
It is ready to enjoy now, but its balanced acidity and oak aging suggest it will develop further complexity over the next 5 to 10 years, so it also suits a recipient who likes to lay bottles down for a special occasion.
Where do the grapes come from?
The Chardonnay comes from Maison Louis Latour's monopole vineyards at Château de Blagny in Meursault, Burgundy. These elevated hillside sites on limestone-rich soils contribute the wine's bright acidity and complex minerality. The bottle is a standard 750 ml.
