2020 Meursault 1er Cru “Les Gouttes d’Or” – Domaine Vincent Latour – Burgundy

Single-Vineyard Wine

Origin

The Premier Cru vineyard Les Gouttes d’Or is one of the classic top sites of Meursault. The calcareous marl soils with flint inclusions give the wine distinct minerality, elegance, and depth. The small plot of only 0.102 ha and vines from 1982 ensure concentration and expressive power.

Vinification

Selective hand harvesting and gentle pressing. Spontaneous fermentation in wood, of which approx. 30% new barriques. Aged for 12 months on fine lees in barrels, followed by 6 months in stainless steel. No bâtonnage for maximum clarity and terroir expression.

Aroma and Taste

On the nose, ripe citrus fruit, mirabelle plum, and almond, complemented by fine roasted aromas. On the palate, it is powerful, dense, and creamy, with pronounced minerality and vibrant freshness. The combination of concentrated fruit, salty spice, and delicate wood ensures a long, complex finish.

Food Pairings

Ideal with scallops, lobster, or noble fish. Also suitable with veal loin, poultry, or aged Comté cheese.

Vintage Characteristics in the Region

The 2020 vintage was warm and dry, yet produced concentrated, balanced, and long-lived wines, with ripe fruit and impressive balance.

Conclusion

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru “Les Gouttes d’Or” is a powerful, complex, and mineral top Burgundy. A Premier Cru with depth, elegance, and great aging potential.
