Louis Latour : Corton Grand cru "Clos de la Vigne au Saint" 2020

Really deep nose of forest berries and violets. Then comes the very focused and amazingly velvety palate. The super-fine tannins and healthy acidity give this an extremely elegant profile, everything flowing effortlessly in the direction of nirvana. Drink or hold.

A complete Corton with superb aromatic class, perfectly matured and well-defined, all in finesse, and likely more harmonious in this vintage than in other sectors of the cru. A great future and perhaps a worthy successor to the 1959! Peak around 2035.

Dark plums, thyme, and earthy tones create a luscious nose. The palate is inviting, offering concentrated black cherries and bramble, framed by cardamom, warming spices, and a hint of green peppercorn. Silky and fruit-forward, this wine is beautifully balanced, with no trace of bitterness on the finish. Delicious.
