Tasting notes
The 2020 Corton Clos de la Vigne Au Saint Grand Cru bursts with aromas of cherries, dark berries, musk, spices and vine smoke. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's rich and layered, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. This is the more sensual and suave of these two Corton bottlings.

Really deep nose of forest berries and violets. Then comes the very focused and amazingly velvety palate. The super-fine tannins and healthy acidity give this an extremely elegant profile, everything flowing effortlessly in the direction of nirvana. Drink or hold.
From the oldest vineyards owned by Louis Latour. Cask sample. Dusky and powerful, this is a very fine example of Corton with a luscious, rich texture, fine tannins and plenty of acidity to finish. (AWH)
About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
