WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis Latour, a prestigious name in Burgundy for over two hundred years, was established in 1797. A winemaking family in Aloxe-Corton for centuries, they patiently built their vineyards to around fifty hectares, 29 hectares of which are classified as Grands Crus in the Côtes d'Or. The estate spans from Côte de Beaune to Côte de Nuits and includes the Château Corton Grancey and cellars dating back to 1834. Currently led by Louis-Fabrice Latour in the seventh generation, the majority of Domaine Louis Latour's vineyards are located in Aloxe-Corton. The harvest, usually in mid-September, is done entirely by hand based on grape ripeness and health. The red wines are traditionally vinified and aged in the historic Cuvee of Corton Grancey, with only the best grapes selected for fermentation in oak barrels. After approximately 12 months of aging, the wine is stored in the cellar for additional months before being offered for sale.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Louis Latour Nuits-Saint-Georges is a beautiful Burgundy wine with the classic characteristics of the region.On the nose, it is full of black cherry, raspberry, and cassis notes, along with a hint of spice and earthy complexity. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with ripe tannins and a long finish. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to allow the fruit and tannins to develop further.
