Meursault-Blagny sits high on the slope, just under the tree line, on the border with Puligny-Montrachet. The cooler locale explains why the white wines from this appellation are always racier and more delicate than other Meursault Premier Crus. Latour’s 2022 supplements that profile with refined power and an engaging floral component. A lively mineral aspect dances on the palate. Although hard to resist now, my experience with Latour’s Meursault Blagny says the 2022 will evolve beautifully over a decade—if you can keep your corkscrew away from it.
