Louis Latour : Aloxe-Corton 1er cru "Les Chaillots" 2019

This red is interwoven with black cherry, blackberry and spice flavors, backed by dusty tannins. Starts out supple, giving way to pointed, chalky tannins as it winds down on the finish. Long, if not that expressive now. Best from 2024 through 2040. 1,020 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Tense acidity and a rigid frame of tannins lend structure to red cherry and plum flavors. Richly concentrated and accented by crushed stone, earth and tea leaf, this vibrant wine needs time to mature but should sing beautifully from 2025 and improve beyond 2035.

The very fresh nose of red fruit and herbs leads you gently into this cool and lively pinot noir, which starts out quite light, but builds in power and weight as it flows across the palate. Good length. Drink or hold.
