Louis Latour : Corton Grand cru "Clos de la Vigne au Saint" 2018

Latour owns the majority of Corton La Vigne au Saint in Aloxe, located down the slope from Chaumes just as the hill begins to shift from facing due south to south-west. The ripeness of the plum and blackberry fruit here reflects the heat of the year, and aromas include earthy, vegetal, and savoury notes as well. The texture on the palate is velvety and dense, and the tannins seem very silky.

Lovely purity of fruit with crushed berries, dried lemons, mushrooms and cedar undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with soft tannins. Savory and subtly fruity at the same time. Drink after 2022.
