I’ve had this wine twice already before tonight…both kind of disappointing…but tonight, it shines!!!
-
2002 Louis Latour Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru (1/17/2010)
Last bottle of 3…best yet! KILLER chalky minerals, wonderful crusty honey, lemons/stones, hazelnut toffee…no signs of pox at all. A perfect bottle of this wine. (93 pts.) -
2002 Louis Latour Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru (7/27/2009)
TN: Burgundy vs. U.S Pinot Noir blind tasting…plus a dozen others!!! (Buzzini House): Second bottle in a week…this showed better than the first, no signs of premox, but compared to the 2002 Domaine Michelot Mère & Fille Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières…it was more oaked and less focused, not much “Meursault” to it. I did like the baked apple, lemon cut, and some mineral stone…but then I’d taste the Michelot again, and want more of that. Hard to believe same Vineyard, same year, different results. (89 pts.) -
2002 Louis Latour Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru (7/21/2009)
Darker golden in color, very shy nose of pear, honey, lemon wax. Showing a little premox. In the mouth, creamy pear/apricot/baked apple fruit…slight sherry, but just a touch…nice lemon mineral cut, honey butter, toasted marshmallow, floral spice. If this was domestic, it would be on life support…the minerals and acidity really keep it up, and makes no mistake it’s from Burgundy. Tasty, but just expected a little more from a Genevrières from '02. I’ve had the '02 Village wine…and it was better. No signs of premox in it. This wine, I’m afraid, might be stricken? I’ve got 2 more bottles to check out…we’ll see. (89 pts.)
