Corton Grand Cru Perrières 2018 - Louis Latour
95/100 Wine Spectator & 95/100 James Suckling
Tasting note in 2021: Enticing aromas of rose, blueberry and boysenberry underline this well-defined, incisive red. It has a latent power and builds to a long, expansive, mineral-tinged finish. Fine purity and structure. Best from 2024 to 2043. BS
- Grape variety: Pinot noir
- Description : Located on the hillside of the Grands Crus de Corton, at an altitude of 273 metres, in a former stone quarry, the vineyard of Les Perrières benefits from a perfect south-east exposure. Our Corton Grancey winery is part of this terroir. The brown and red clay soils give a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in the traditional way by Domaine Louis Latour. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes.
- Fermentation : Traditional in open vats.
- Ageing : 10 to 12 months of ageing in oak barrels, 100% new
Barrels.
Cooperage: Louis Latour, French oak, medium toast.
- Wine tasting by the estate: "The Corton-Perrières Grand Cru 2018 reveals a dark ruby red colour with garnet highlights. The nose is intense with aromas of redcurrant, undergrowth and mocha. The palate is full and round with hints of liquorice and pepper. A wine with exceptional freshness and persistence complemented by a lush tannic structure."
- Food and wine pairing : Beef Bourguignon - wild boar - mature cheeses
