97/100 James Suckling
- When to drink this wine : 2025 - 2035+.
- Tasted June 2023 - "Aniseed, dried lemon, white grapefruit, gunflint and even smoked meat aromas, with dried mango and some green tea. Sophisticated rather than generous; full-bodied. Tight, mineral finish. Give it a try in 2025."
THE ESTATE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE WINE :
Description : After the ravages of Phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, the Louis Latour family decided to uproot the dead vines of Aligoté and Pinot Noir and replace them with Chardonnay. Today, with 10.5 hectares, Louis Latour is the largest owner of this Grand Cru. The Corton-Charlemagne vineyard is located in the best part of the Corton hillside, where the south-east exposure ensures that the vines receive ideal sunshine and a perfect balance between acidity and grape maturity.
