Louis Latour Ch. Corton Grancey Grand Cru, Corton Rouge, 2015 Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

Founded in 1797, Louis Latour is one of Burgundy's most historic and respected names, with eleven generations of family stewardship. Based in Beaune, the house is unique in that it remains both a négociant and a grower, owning 50 hectares of vines, including the largest Grand Cru holding in Burgundy. At the heart of this is Corton, where Latour's flagship wine, Château Corton Grancey, is produced from the family's estate vineyards. This monopole bottling comes from five Grand Cru parcels surrounding the château itself, an iconic expression of the hill of Corton. For much of the 20th century, Louis Latour's reds were known for their structure and longevity, built for the cellar with a firm tannic spine. In more recent decades, refinement in viticulture and winemaking has brought greater purity, elegance, and finesse to the wines, without sacrificing their depth or capacity to age. Today, Château Corton Grancey represents the epitome of Latour's style, powerful yet refined, with a perfect balance of fruit and tannins. This wine is suitable for both men and women to enjoy.
