Jean-Pierre Latour knocked the ball out of the park in 2014, bottling a set of wines that he says are not for restaurants or early consumption. “It’s an exceptional, complete vintage with concentration, purity and near-perfect balance,” he told me in early June. “There wasn’t huge maturity but the wines nonetheless have great class and energy--and incredible force.” The skins were thick and the berries did not have a lot of juice, he added, and the wines were a great surprise with élevage, showing outstanding structure. “My only regret is that three-quarters of these wines will be drunk too early," he told me.

Acidity levels in the 2014s range as high as 4.8 grams per liter for the Meursault Genevrières Cuvée des Pierres, a wine that Latour compared to the 1996 in its precision and grip. “The 2014s are fruitier than the 2010s,” he added.
