All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. Beautiful nose of fruit, floral and mineral notes. Stone fruit flavors, apple and pear with hints of nuts and earthy tones. Lingering finish, great mouthfeel ending with earthy mineral notes. A Gem! Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

37 #bourgogne : Classic Corton. Muscular, line and drive. Virile! — 10 years ago
It’s fun drinking Grand Crus, but it’s tough when they’re opened alongside “lesser” red burgundies that are drinking better (at this moment in time). Like many Grand Crus, this comes off as one dimensional but clearly singing its own beautiful song. — 7 years ago
All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. Aged for 10 months on French oak (50% new). Tried the '13 alongside the '11. Pale yellow woohoo s beautiful nose of fruit, biscuit and mineral notes. Stone fruit flavors, apple and pear, touch of citrus with smoky nuts and earthy tones. Lingering finish, great mouthfeel ending with lemony mineral characteristics. A Gem! Tasting Sample. Let this one age a bit! — 8 years ago

2007 Coche Dury Corton Charlemagne. Drank at HB w J&D B. So good. Rich, minerally. JB thought not as rich as it has been, but because this wine is prob over the hill. Thought we should be drinking these sooner rather than later. — 7 years ago
On the nose; poached strawberries, cherries, bing cherries, cooked rhubarb, dry cranberries, faint spice, light vanilla, limestone and fresh red florals. The mouthfeel is lean to medium and very juicy. Tannins completely resolved. Strawberries, cherries, bing cherries, cooked rhubarb, dry cranberries, cola, steeped tea, faint spice, limestone minerals, loamy soils, faint spice, touch of vanilla, herbal notes, soft high acidity and lean, elegant, long, fruit finish. Even though this was likely a little better two years ago, it's good but certainly a little disappointing for Grand Cru Burgundy. History notes...the Louis Latour family first bought vines in the Cote de Beaune in 1731, with land in some of the top Burgundy vineyards. Louis Latour is currently run by the seventh Louis Latour, Louis-Fabrice Latour featured in the photo. They are a huge négociant with property holdings in Aloxe-Corton (their largest holdings) and Corton-Charlemagne. They also own parts of Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru, Corton Bressandes Grand Cru, Corton Les Chaumes Grand Cru, Corton Les Pougets Grand Cru, Corton Les Perrières Grand Cru, Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, Corton Les Grèves Grand Cru. Also, own parts of the Premiers Crus“Les Chaillots”, “Les Founières”, Chambertin, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Chevalier-Montrachet “Les Demoiselles." They use French oak vats for short period of fermentation on nearly all their red wines. Then...they spend 12 months in French oak barrels. The red wines of Domaine Louis Latour are still vinified and aged at Corton Grancey featured in the photo. — 8 years ago
Beautiful wine. Lots of fruit great color and nice acid. Should continue to age gracefully — 10 years ago
This wine was a real thinker. Tons of bret in the beginning, covering up any sort of fruit or pleasurable flavors. After about an hour one could see the potential, but still too much Bret to decipher the essence of the wine. After about 8 hours I tried the wine again for shyzas and giggles, expecting the wine to have completely fallen apart. But surprisingly, most of the bret had blown off and I could finally taste the core of the wine. Typical dense, earthy, dried raspberry, burgundy flavors.... Tasted old, but not 65 years old.
