Louis Latour : Clos Vougeot Grand cru 2020

Dive into this fjord of perfectly ripe black fruit and this enormous pile of very fine tannins. So much vitality, in spite of the concentration on the full but definitely not opulent body. Clove and cardamom at the very expressive, long finish. Drink or hold.

More untamed and less settled than the wines of Vosne and Flagey, not ready to be properly assessed.

A floral-herbaceous nose is followed by a layer of black currants in this voluptuous expression. Dense and rich, with a perfume of rose and blood-orange peel enveloping firm, yet deep and brooding black cherries and thyme, the palate welcomes freshness with plum and black sanguine berry, framed with toasty notes.
