"Jean-Pierre Latour first got his hands dirty in the cellar back in 1983, then took the helm in '93. It’s really since the mid-2000s that he feels he’s nailed this style of white Burgundy - which he defines, justifiably, as “richness, purity and elegance, so that the wines finish fresh”. The whites are whole-bunch pressed, receiving a first racking at the end of August, when Jean-Pierre looks at the quality of lees to take forward. Bâtonnage is often part of the equation, but close observation of the vintage dictate frequency and duration. The wines are raised in oak for 11 to 12 months, with about 20% new oak for Bourgogne and village, and 25% for the premiers crus..."

2020 Bourgogne Blanc
Usually $84 - Special Offer $79
"In Les Vaux. Fullish mid yellow, plenty of stuffing on the nose including a good feel of lees contact. This packs a real punch in a good way, with a fresh vigour to the lemon and greengage fruit, good acidity and decent length for this level. Definitely a mini-Meursault, with extra vivacity"

2020 Meursault 'Cuvee Charles Maxime'
Usually $169 - Special Offer $159
"This makes quite an overview of Meursault with plots in Pelles (3), Limozin, Crotots, Vireuils (2), Chevalières, Clos du Cromin and Corbins. Pale lemon and lime, this is quite light on its feet up front yet with a stunning intensity behind, with a citrus intensity of acidity as well. It will doubtless flesh out with three to five years in bottle. Very promising."

2020 Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Charmes'
Usually $299 - Special Offer $279
"Two six ouvrée plots top and bottom. Mid yellow, the bouquet is a little softer and the oak has a vanilla touch rather than toasty. Starts reasonably quietly but kicks on with real force behind, and then finishes on the lime-citrus acidity of the vintage, suggesting a lightly salted Rose’s lime juice. Fair intensity and persistence."
