Louis Latour Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru
From Cote de Beaune
| Vintage: | 2014 |
|---|---|
| Description: | "a muscular style, with rich, ripe fruit and an initially suave texture. Cherry, raspberry, tea and chalky mineral elements converge midpalate, ending with firm tannins and a minerally hint. Best from 2019 through 2025. 2,400 cases made. -bs" (ws). "Solid Burgundy with dried-strawberry and cherry character. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. A little one-dimensional now, but this shows the quality of the vintage and will develop beautifully in bottle. Drink or hold." (js). "a gorgeously fresh and notably more complex nose exhibits notes of both red and dark cherry, cassis, spice, game and forest floor. The sleek, intense and impressively concentrated flavors are imposingly scaled before concluding in a stony, well-detailed and overtly muscular finish that delivers outstanding length. Like the Perrières this is very clearly built-to-age and is going to need a minimum of a decade first." (bh). "This is a blend from several Grand Crus on the Corton hill. It is rich and spicy, with great black fruits and solid tannins. A powerful wine, it's shot through with acidity and black-plum fruits throughout the structure. Drink from 2023. -Roger Voss" (we). Winery Notes:. Tasting Note:. With a purple hue this Grand Cru exhales aromas of cassis, saffron and earthiness. In the mouth the tannins envelop a lovely cherry fruitiness and are powerful yet silky. Vinification:. Traditional in open vats. Description:. "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 four areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Les Bressandes, Les Perrières, Les Grèves and Clos du Roi, 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 a perfect maturity, vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified. |
