A beautiful and complex red with flowers, dark fruits, citrus and spice character. Full body, firm tannins and a bright finish. Tight and dense. Seamless and very pretty. A nice blend of different vineyards of Corton.

There is density and intensity to this tight red, with cherry, strawberry, spice and mineral flavors remaining persistent through the finish. Balanced and long, leaving a mouthwatering impression.

The 2013 Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru possessed the most impressive nose of the Corton 13’s from Louis Latour: blackberry, undergrowth and candied orange peel, a convincing undertow of minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle tannins, sappy black fruit and lightly peppered finish that linger in the mouth.

Here too very generous wood all but dominates the nose though aggressive swirling allows the earthy and sauvage-inflected dark berry fruit aromas to be appreciated. There is an opulent mouth feel to the broad-shouldered flavors that possess better ripeness of the structural elements on the lingering finish. This is the best of these Corton grands crus.
