Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latter family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. Medium pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits with a slight nutty floral character. On the palate flavors of peach and melon with lemon citrus and savory notes. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, toasty oak and minerality. Nice!

Sun and chalky, lemony chard. Memories of a weekend well-spent.

2013 vintage - Apple, lemon & honey on the nose with well-integrated fruit & oak - just a hint of pebbles!

Squeaky clean fruit. Green apple and a touch of butter. A little too green, maybe a tad underripe?
