• 2020 Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru "Les Chaillots"

  Cote 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. Domaine Louis Latour controls over 90% of the total hectarage of this Premier Cru, 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. 94pts James Suckling 92pts Wine Spectator

• 2020 Louis Latour Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru "Château de Blagny"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte d'Or. Surprisingly, for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists; however, the high quality of the 1er Cru more than compensates for this. Exclusive to Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Château de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Château de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune. - 93pts James Suckling - 92pts Wine Spectator

• 2020 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, which allows for easy drainage of water. Here we find the same opulence as in neighbouring Pommard as well as 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 ageing to perfection for a considerable period of time. - 97pts James Suckling - 92pts Wine Spectator

• 2019 Louis Latour Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru

  Cote de Beaune

  Expand
  "Grancey" was the name of the last owners of the chateau situated on the road of 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 assembled to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine that is produced only if the grapes are of perfect maturity; vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified. - 98pts Wine Enthusiast - 96pts Wine Review Online - 95pts James Suckling - 94pts Wine Spectator

• 2020 Louis Latour Volnay 1er Cru "En Chevret"

  Cote de Beaune

  Expand
  This wine originates in the village of Volnay, south of Beaune and neighboring Pommard. The "En Chevret" parcel of vines is located below the main road, just under the "Caillerets" parcel at the border of the village of Meursault. The easterly exposition and the specific terroir of this single vineyard give us an elegant wine with each vintage. - 95pts James Suckling - 92pts Wine Spectator

• 2020 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 is 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 the Corton hill, lying on a bedrock outcrop towards the bottom of the slope. The soil is a rusty red and rich in marl, which gives the wine distinct aromas. This wine possesses the elegance that we expect from a Côte d'Or Grand Cru and will age particularly well. - 97pts James Suckling - 95pts Wine Spectator

• 2019 Pommard 1er Cru "Epenots"

  Côte de Beaune

  Expand
  The village of Pommard is comfortably sandwiched between the town of Beaune and the village of Volnay. In contrast to the wines of its close neighbours, those of Pommard tend to be fuller, more tannic, and expansive in the mouth, similar to those of the Côte de Nuits. This area was named "Epenots," coming from "épine" (thorn or prickle), as a result of the natural vegetation of the area, which was bush-like and thorny. The "Epenots" is solid and firm in its youth and need time to mature and mellow out before revealing its full glory. - 94pts James Suckling

• 2018 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. There are brown and red clay soils that produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in a traditional way by Domaine Louis Latour. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes. - 93pts Wine Spectator
