Bottles of Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi 2016 - Louis Latour
Directly from the wine estate
Perfectly exposed due east on the hill of Corton, the vines are maintained in a traditional way by the winegrowers of the Domaine Louis LATOUR. Severe pruning allows later harvests and thus ensures a good level of maturity and richness of the grapes. This wine has an excellent ageing capacity.
