WINE DESCRIPTION

Louis Latour is a renowned producer of fine wines from the Burgundy region of France. Their Côte de Nuits-Villages is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in vineyards located in the villages of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux-Prissey, and Comblanchien. The wine is fermented in open vats and aged in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months. It has an elegant style with aromas of red fruits, spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is silky with a good structure and a long finish. This wine is a great example of the classic Burgundian style and is perfect to pair with roasted meats, game, or aged cheese.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Louis Latour Côte de Nuits-Villages 2017 is an inviting red Burgundy with an intense, fragrant nose of rich dark fruits and exotic spices.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a silky texture and layers of ripe blackberry and cassis. The finish is long and complex, with hints of earthy minerality and a subtle note of oak. Enjoy this delightful Burgundy with grilled lamb chops or a savory mushroom risotto.
