Jean-Pierre Latour

Coming Up

At Domaine Latour-Giraud in Meursault, the work is shaped by continuity as much as by technique, with the cellar and the office tied to the same estate and the same name. Jean-Pierre Latour describes the aim plainly: “I’m looking for purity, precision and freshness but with some richness of flavour.” That brief puts the craft on the table. It is a matter of control, texture, and keeping the wines legible without stripping away depth.

Where They Are Now

At Domaine Latour-Giraud in Meursault, France, Jean-Pierre Latour works as director in a role that sits at the center of style and decision-making. The line he gives for the work is direct: “I work like my father did.” That tells you where the method comes from. The domaine is presented as a place where inheritance is not treated as ornament, but as operating practice — repeated through vineyard and cellar, and carried forward in the details that hold a house together season after season.

Signature

Meursault Genevrières and Meursault Cuvée Charles-Maxime sit at the center of Jean-Pierre Latour’s signature. They point to a style built on brightness and clarity, with enough depth to keep the wines from feeling spare. Within Domaine Latour-Giraud, these cuvées show the balance he names in his own words: purity and precision first, freshness kept alive, and a measured richness of flavour carried through the finish.

In Their Words “I’m looking for purity, precision and freshness but with some richness of flavour.” “I work like my father did.”
