Louis Latour : Beaune 1er cru "Perrières" 2020

Such a fragrant and generous Beaune Premier Cru with a wonderful balance of full, fine tannins and ample cherry fruit, the balance spot-on. Very long finish, supported by an abundance of powdery tannins. So much energy and excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.

Located in the north, close to Savigny, this used to be a quarry. 25% new oak. Great freshness counterbalancing the rich, velvety texture on the palate. Deep colour and plenty of density, yet this is unmistakably burgundy. (AWH)
