This bright, pale yellow Meursault has an intense nose, with smoky, toasty notes and a hint of oak. There are aromas of hazelnut, vanilla and white peach. The palate is full-bodied and very long, with notes of fresh almond and a beautiful, resin-like finish.
Louis Latour Description
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. Surprisingly for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more than compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Château de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Château de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
James Suckling: 95 Points
There's a lovely freshness and tension here with aromas of sliced lemons, white peaches, struck match, flint, orange blossoms and butter cookies. The midweight palate is fleshed out with a generous mouthfeel, balanced acidity and a slight phenolic edge. Great minerality and purity with an underlying power. Drink or hold.

Outstanding
A riper and vaguely exotic nose freely reveals its array of overtly floral, citrus confit, passion fruit and dried apricot. The beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality that serves to enhance the mouthfeel of the bitter lemon zest-inflected finale. This is lovely and worth checking out.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Fresh, juicy and expressive, this white delivers peach, apple, floral, honey and baking spice aromas and flavors. Balanced, charming and enticing, with terrific balance and fine length.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Aromas of pear, hazelnut, freshly baked bread and linden blossom preface the 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Château de Blagny, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's floral and ethereal in style, concluding with a saline finish.
