2022 Latour Giraud Meursault

“I have said this before, but if you're not searching out these wines, you're missing out on one of the best kept secrets in Meursault… the Latour Giraud 2022s are first-rate and every wine is highly recommended” ~ Burghound Issue 95 

In early June, we offered 2022 Latour Giraud Meursault and sold out! Since then, I’ve been talking with my supplier about getting another parcel, and as luck would have it, was able to lock up another substantial parcel the day before the latest Burghound report came out! Timing is everything.  

I’ve been pounding the drum about Latour Giraud  since 2017, and it's nice to see the world's authority on Burgundy sharing my sentiment. This is a monster vintage for this Domaine and I'm guessing this is going to vault this Domaine into the very upper echelon of White Burgundy producers. It's not often I see Burghound include 1er crus on his Don’t Miss List and bestow such lavish praise on the entire range of wines. I’m going to leave you with this quote from Burghound…

“The 2022s are so good, with the necessary caveat that they be well-chosen, that they not only should be in your cellars but they should be in your cellars in quantity. As I have already said, but in this context it bears repeating, 2022 is the best white burgundy vintage since at least 2017 (yes, better than 2020, if only a little), and it rivals, if not surpasses 2014 and 2010. I can’t offer a better endorsement than that.  ~ Burghound Issue 95

As a reminder, here was our previous offer:

If you pay attention to White Burgundy, Latour Giraud is likely on your radar. It’s one I’ve had my eye on for awhile because of its high price to quality ratio. This producer has quietly flown under the radar for the last 5 or so years now (unless you follow my emails), but with the exceptional lineup of vineyards in their stable it's going to be hard to keep this secret much longer.

I’ve been quietly selling these wines for a long time. They come and they go without much fanfare, but those of you that know the wines quietly scoop them up year after year. My only complaint about this domaine is that as demand grows, my allocation seems to be getting smaller every vintage. I did manage to buy this parcel before all the reviews, so that helped a little as far as quantity. Don’t think about these too long as they will disappear before you know it.
