Louis Latour Marsannay – Marsannay – White – 2021:

 

The Northern Star of White Burgundy

Maison Louis Latour’s Marsannay Blanc is a sophisticated and compelling expression of Chardonnay, hailing from the northern gateway of the Côte de Nuits. This wine stands as a testament to the appellation’s rising star status, offering a depth and minerality that rivals its more famous neighbors to the south.

Tasting Profile & Terroir

• Appearance: Bright, pale yellow.
• Nose: A fresh and complex bouquet, showcasing vibrant citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) and delicate white flowers. Subtle hints of vanilla and almond biscotti from the oak aging add a layer of luxurious complexity.
• Palate: Full-bodied and seductive, the palate is round and velvety, striking a beautiful balance between rich fruit and a vivid, crisp acidity. It finishes with impressive length and a distinctive saline minerality-the hallmark of Marsannay’s clay and limestone soils.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This is a wine that demands high-quality, rich cuisine. Serve it chilled (54-57°F) to unlock its full aromatic potential.

• Recommended Dishes: Creamy Mushroom Chicken, Seared Halibut with Lemon-Herb Butter, or a classic Seafood Chowder.
• Cellaring: Ready to drink now but has a potential to age 3-5 years, developing richer, more buttery notes.
