    Wine Spectator

    Bruce Sanderson

    A bright, well-delineated red, featuring cherry, black currant, violet, iron and a hint of toasty oak aromas and flavors. This is packed with fruit, beautifully balanced and solidly structured, ending with a long aftertaste of cherry, mineral and spice. Best from 2925 through 2043. 150 cases made, 70 cases imported.

    James Suckling

    The stunning wild-blackberry nose pulls you into this medium- to full-bodied Pommard that's brimming with fruit and has a stack of fine tannins. Lots of drive and minerality, but not a trace of the dryness that this appellation is famous for. Drink or hold.

    Part of it comes from the estate, another part is purchased as grapes; the whole is fairly classical, firmer than the own-rooted vines but less elegant and refined in texture, yet it still has an energy that will allow it to age well. Peak around 2030.

    Anna-Christina Cabrales

    An enticing crush of cherries and violets meld into a layer of sweet spices and brown mushrooms, offering a complex nose. The palate is focused on the black cherries and spice, which persist long through the finish and meet its rose and oak spice finish. Precise and delicious. Drink from 2025+.

    Description

    A generous and expressive red wine from Burgundy

    The property

    Founded in 1797, the Maison Louis Latour is today represented by the 11th generation with Louis-Fabrice Latour at its head. As a wine merchant and grower, Maison Louis Latour owns the largest domain of Grand Crus in Burgundy.

    The vineyard

    "Les Epenots" is a Pommard wine 1er cru made from vines that are on average 30 years old, resting on clay-limestone soils.

    Vinification and aging

    Once the manual harvest is done, the fermentation is carried out in a traditional way in open vats with 100% malolactic fermentation. The aging of 10 to 12 months is carried out in French oak barrels (35% new) from the cooperage of Maison Louis Latour.

    Blend

    Pinot noir (100%).
