Wine Spectator 93pt

A lush yet intense red, with silky texture and a fleshy profile setting the stage for cherry, strawberry, earth, tobacco and mineral flavors. This evolves on the palate, with dense, civilized tannins emerging in the process and providing overall equilibrium. Lively and long.

Tasting notes

With a wonderful garnet red colour, our Corton Grand Cru Perrieres 2014 reveals an intense nose of cherry, undergrowth and liquorice. The mouth is round and the tannins are suple. The wine is powerful and offers a beautiful lenght. Surely a wine to be kept.

Description

Located on the hill of the Corton Grand Crus at an altitude of 273 meters in an old stone quarry, the 'Perrieres' parcel of vines has a perfect south-easterly exposition. Our Cuverie Corton Grancey is embedded in this terroir. There are brown and red clay soils which produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in a traditional way by Domaine Louis LATOUR. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes.
