The Winery

Louis Latour

Maison Louis Latour is one of the most highly-regarded négociants in the Burgundy wine region of France. After its founding in 1797, it has gained plenty of recognition and respect for both its white and red wines. With around 72 acres of Grand Cru land, the domain has the largest amount of vineyard holdings in all of Burgundy. The maison not only controls a large portion of Burgundy, but has a substantial amount of holdings in the regions of Ardèche and Var regions located in the south of France that are known for their Viognier and Chardonnay at more accessible price points. Having grown grapes since the 17th Century in Aloxe-Corton, the Latour family had the chance to expand when they gained a 125-acre domaine and built their Corton Grancey winery in 1834. The winery was built with five levels to allow for gravity flow, which was the first of its kind in France. Today the winery is one of the most easily recognized in all of France, as are the wines, and it is distributed to many countries across the globe.

Tasting Notes

BH93
This really has not changed all that much from my original review save that the maturing nose of toasty, expressive and highly complex aromas feature notes of pain grillé, green fruit and dried rose petals is not quite as fresh as it once was even in the larger format. There is fine richness to the rich, full-bodied, well-muscled and impressively intense flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that really coats the mouth on the long and serious finish. Though hardly surprising in magnum format, this is not quite fully mature yet it's not so far away that it could not be enjoyed. I would suggest cellaring this for another 2 to 4 years and then it should be at or near its best. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

A toasty white, with a vivid structure and warm baking spices framing apple and grapefruit flavors. The racy structure is offset by a creamy texture, and this resonates on the lingering finish. Best from 2014 through 2024.
