"Very expressive and long finish".

"Dive into this river of perfectly ripe black fruits and this immense set of very fine tannins. So much vitality, despite the concentration of the full-bodied but certainly not opulent. Clove and cardamom on the very expressive, long finish. To drink or to keep. (James Suckling 2022)

Rated wine (guide 2022) 92/100

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Founded in 1797, this family-run business has strong links with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, culminating in a sumptuous site on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latour, presides over the family board and has every confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have had their fermentation times extended, giving them more flesh and body, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant quest for balance that sometimes makes them undervalued in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015, in both colors, but we'll trust the cuvées from the estate's vines more than certain purchases, especially the overly diluted whites.

About the domain :

An independent family business, founded in 1797 and run successively by 10 generations of Latour. A key player in Burgundy winegrowing and the largest owner of Grands Crus in the Côte-d'Or (28 ha of its 48 hectares of vineyards). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family's birthplace, and the company has its own cooperage.

About the wine:

The floral, herbaceous nose is followed by a layer of cassis in this voluptuous expression. Dense and rich, with a scent of rose and blood orange peel enveloping firm, yet deep and covering, black cherry and thyme, the palate welcomes freshness with plums and black blood berries, framed by toasty notes.
