Louis Latour : Aloxe-Corton Village "Domaine Latour" 2020

This intense yet supple red opens with aromas of graphite, black currant, black cherry, earth and spice. The refined structure is balanced by ample flesh, while it is harmonious and almost approachable at this early stage. Drink now through 2028. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.

This has a beautiful nose of sandalwood, strawberries, nutmeg, dried flowers, incense and amber. It packs a lot of flavor, with firm, very fine tannins providing excellent structure. Medium to full-bodied and layered. Drink or hold.

A violet-blue robe with rare brilliance, a very lovely nose of red fruits, licorice notes from beautifully ripe grapes, velvety tannins; to my mind the most complete I can remember, paying full tribute to the estate’s vine material. Peak around 2030.
