Latour Giraud 2024
I’ve been quietly selling the Latour-Giraud wines for as long as I can remember. For years they flew under the radar, and they weren’t only an incredible value, they were also relatively easy to get. Since Burghound started calling them one of the best-kept secrets in Meursault, that has begun to change. Couple that with the short 2024 crop, and I feel fortunate to have anything to sell at all.
I offered these wines at the beginning of the year, only to watch them sell out almost immediately. I don’t have the full lineup to offer today, but I’m happy to be able to offer one of the top cuvées. If you missed them the first time, don’t think about it for too long, as I’ve only got a couple of cases of each. They arrive at the end of the month, and they will not disappoint.
from vines in Meursault). This is aromatically similar but with just a touch of wood influence. There is more volume still to the delicious, concentrated and sleeker flavors that, unusually for a Bourgogne, flash good power on the lingering, lightly austere and citrus-tinged finale. This is an excellent example of the genre.

This is also ultra-floral in character with additional breadth added by notes of the essence of white-fleshed fruit, spice, petrol and a whiff of oak toast. There is both good volume and density to the refined and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors that exhibit excellent length on the lightly stony, bone-dry and impressively persistent finish. This needs to develop better depth but the stuffing is here for that to occur. This is also worth checking out.

Mid lemon yellow. A little touch of biscuit from the barrel. The Champ Canet does not have the volume of most of the Meursault 1ers Crus but is distinguished by its persistence and the detail which really only comes out on the back of the palate. The angels are dancing not on the head of a pin but on the stones. The fruit profile has a ripe citrus aspect. Overall, a fine Champ Canet. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2025.
