2022 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 has a bright and pale yellow color. Its nose is intense with toasty, floral aromas, particularly honeysuckle. The palate is full and round, with aromas of brioche and vanilla. The finish lingers on notes of acacia honey.

TASTING NOTES:

The 2022 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne displays incredible intensity and concentration, remaining true to the presence of the Cte d’Or. This one-of-a-kind wine offers alluring notes of freshly baked bread and ripe apples, complemented by a hint of toasty oak. Enjoy a decadent evening with Lobster Thermidor la Franaise. Use Cognac and grated Gruyre or Comt cheese.

This almost perfectly interweaves vanilla oak with a wide spectrum of citrus and stone fruit aromas in a way thats totally compelling, and this is most striking on the front palate. Then comes a golden richness on the very concentrated mid-palate, followed by a huge wave of chalky minerality. Incredibly long, focused aftertaste.

Broad in profile and initially rich, with peach, pear, butterscotch and mineral flavors cut by lively acidity. This white seems to dissipate on the finish, only to return with toasted brioche and baking spice notes. Salty finish. Drink now through 2032.
