The Maranges appellation is the latest addition to the Côte de Beaune. May 1989. With its deep, dark ruby color, this Maranges has a nose of black cherry and spices. Fresh and full-bodied on the palate, it reveals aromas of crunchy cherry and licorice, with elegant tannins and good length. Delicious with beef in jelly...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 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.
