Louis Latour Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru 2012

From Maison Louis Latour, the Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru 2012 is an exclusive Grand Cru wine with a history rooted in the Latour family’s purchase of Château Corton Grancey in 1891. Created only when the grapes reach perfect maturity, this cuvée is produced selectively, with vintages judged inferior systematically declassified.

The blend draws on four areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Les Bressandes, Les Perrières, Les Grèves and Clos du Roi, with proportions that vary depending on the vintage. With an average vine age of over 40 years, each component is aged individually before only the best barrels are assembled to form Château Corton Grancey.

In the glass, it exudes aromas of cassis, liquorice and earthiness. Ample and powerful on the palate, it finishes with subtle minty notes.
