Maison Louis Latour 2021 – Auxey-Duresses

The color is bright, pale ruby. The nose offers bright aromas of ripe red fruits, with a touch of sweetness (wild strawberry, juicy red cherry, red currants) and a tanginess of raspberry and cranberries. The bouquet develops after aeration and expresses distinct but integrated spicy notes (ground clove, cumin, white pepper, licorice stick), associated with delicate woody touches (sweet coffee, toasted, vanilla in the background with a very slight hint of coconut). We also find floral (fresh cornflower, elderflower) and herbaceous (roasted thyme, dried mint) aromas which add to the complexity of the wine. On the palate, the attack is silky, round, fruity and gour;qnd. We find the flavors of ripe red fruits (wild strawberry, juicy red cherry, raspberry, red currant), a fine spicy side of white pepper, cloves and cinnamon, combined with a touch of toast and coffee. The tannins are melted, very fine, present especially at the end of the palate. Beautiful length with a salivating acidity integrated into the roundness of the fruity material. A wine of delicacy and gourmandize, well-structured and balanced.
