Description

Description
  • After the ravages of the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 19th century the Latour family took the then unusual decision to tear up the dead Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines and replace them with Chardonnay. This decision leads them to create one of Burgundy's most celebrated white whites.

    Today the Latour family owns 10.5 hectares which makes them the biggest owner in the appellation. The Latour's Corton-Charlemagne vineyards are located on a prime section of the Corton hillside where the south-easterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. The fruit is harvested as late as possible to guarantee maximum ripeness.

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    Our Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020 reveals a pale gold hue. Round and generous, its nose reveals aromas of grilled almonds and vanilla. It presents a beautiful amplitude in mouth exposing a melted woody and a mineral final. Very good persistence. Although very flattering in its youth, this wine deserves a few years in the cellar to reach its peak.
  • Food Pairing
    Shellfish - lobster - foie gras - fish - mature cheeses
