Domaine Louis Latour, Château Corton Grancey 2018 – Corton Grand Cru

The wine has a medium deep ruby color, with garnet reflexions on the rim. The nose is fragrant, generous and complex. It expresses notes of juicy and ripe red and black fruits (wild strawberry, bigarreau cherry, morello cherry, blueberry, wild raspberry), fresh flowers (rosehip, cornflower, cherry blossom, rose petals, violet). We also find aromas of torrefaction and sweet spices enveloped and integrated into the fruity bouquet (cinnamon, sweet coffee, licorice, white pepper, cloves), as well as herbaceous touches (wild mint, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf). and a hint of dark chocolate in the background, as well as a touch of graphite. On the palate, the wine is rich and enveloping, but elegant and refined. The attack is delicious and fruity: it expresses the flavors of very ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, blueberry, wild blackberry (in the background) and crunchy raspberry. We then find notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, toasted vanilla, licorice, cloves), roasting (mild coffee), dark chocolate (in the background), associated with floral notes of rose, peony, violet and cornflower, as well as a herbaceous freshness of wild mint and rosemary. The tannins are structured and very silky. The acidity is refreshing, well balanced with the substance of the wine. The finish is long, velvety and complex. A deep and elegant wine.
