• 2022 Louis Latour Beaune 1er Cru "Vignes Franches"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  Historically, the owners of this area did not have to pay tax on the land, hence the name 'Vignes Franches' ('free vines'). The Beaune Premier Cru "Vignes Franches" parcel, an important part of Domaine Louis Latour, is found mid-slope. The clay soils are scattered with small pebbles, allowing for easy water drainage. Here we find the same opulence as in neighboring Pommard and an extremely pleasant fruit-forwardness even when young. It is one of the best Premier Cru vineyards in Beaune, producing a wine that is capable of aging to perfection for a considerable period of time. Our Beaune 1er Cru "Vignes Franches" 2022 has a deep ruby color. Its nose offers aromas of raspberry and blackberry, while its palate is ample and suave, revealing notes of blackberry again and licorice. This wine offers good length and a fresh finish.

• 2018 Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru "Clos de la Vigne au Saint"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  Clos de la Vigne au Saint is a very old vineyard; the earliest known record of its existence is in 1375 when it was mentioned in the records of the Chapter of Saulieu. The Latour family has a long connection with this vineyard, which began in 1738 when Louis Latour's great-great-grandmother owned a section of the vineyard. Since then, it has remained in family hands, passing from generation to generation. The vineyard has perfect southerly exposure on Corton Hill, lying on a bedrock outcrop towards the bottom of the slope. The soil is a rusty red color and rich in marl, which gives the wines distinct aromas. This wine possesses the elegance that we expect from a Côte d'Or Grand Cru and will age particularly well. Our Corton "Clos de la Vigne au Saint" 2018 has a deep color with garnet hues. The nose is complex, with blackberry, black cherry, blackcurrant, and mocha aromas. Black cherry and mocha are found on the palate, with a touch of licorice. It is a full-bodied wine with silky tannins and a very fresh finish.

• 2022 Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru "Les Chaillots"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  Aloxe-Corton is the home village of the Latour family, who have been closely involved in the affairs of the commune for over three centuries. Of the total hectarage of this Premier Cru, Domaine Louis Latour controls over 90% of the production centered on the famous Château and cuverie of Corton-Grancey. These vines are an important part of Domaine Louis Latour. The name 'Les Chaillots' refers to the stony, pebbly nature of the soil in this vineyard, as 'caillou' means pebble in French. There is an alliance in the wines of Aloxe-Corton between the finesse of a Côte de Beaune and the mellow, powerful appeal of the Côte de Nuits. Our Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru "Les Chaillots" 2022 presents a ruby color. It reveals a nose with aromas of wild strawberries, licorice, and undergrowth. It is very round on the palate, with silky tannins, showing notes of fresh almond, cherry, and licorice once again.

• 2019 Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru "Perrières"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  Located on the hill of the Corton Grand Crus at an altitude of 273 meters in an old stone quarry, the "Perrières" parcel of vines has a perfect south-easterly exposition. Our Cuverie Corton Grancey is embedded in this terroir. Brown and red clay soils produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed traditionally by Domaine Louis Latour. Severe pruning allows for a later harvest and ensures good maturity and richness in the grapes. Our dark ruby 2019 Corton Grand Cru « Perrières » unveils hints of mocha and licorice on the nose. Round and ample on the palate, it presents licorice, griot, and blackcurrant aromas with a note of pepper. The finale has silky tannins and lovely freshness.

  "Grancey" was the name of the last owners of the château situated on the road to Corton before the Latour family bought it in 1891. This wine, produced by Maison Louis Latour, is unique and exclusive. It is a blend of five areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes, the proportions of which vary depending on the vintage. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. After aging individually, only the best barrels are selected to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine produced only if the grapes are of perfect maturity; vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified.

Round in the mouth, it is lightly peppery on the finish. This wine stands out for its complexity and the softness of its tannins.
