2005 Louis Latour Meursault. At 11 years old, the wine is near peak scoring 17+ points on the Dionysian scale of 20. The 13.5% alcohol was acceptable. The wine cost around $30 back at its release.
This Chardonnay from Beaune, in the Cote-D’ Or, in Burgundy, France, is an excellent food wine. Bought on October 17, 2009, when it cost $30, and aged in a cool dark cellar, this Meursault paired well with the seafood dinner.
Age your white French Burgundy. Drink other Chardonnay wines much younger. In vino veritas.
