Louis Latour Aloxe Corton Domaine Latour 2022 (1x75cl)

The Louis Latour Aloxe Corton Domaine Latour 2022 represents a quintessential expression of this esteemed Côte de Beaune appellation. Aloxe-Corton, situated at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune, is renowned for producing Pinot Noir wines of significant structure and longevity, often reflecting the influence of its proximity to the Grand Cru vineyards of Corton.

Domaine Latour's approach to this village wine emphasizes the inherent characteristics of its terroir. The vineyards typically feature stony, marl, and limestone soils, contributing to wines with a firm tannic backbone and a distinctive mineral drive. The 2022 vintage, generally lauded for its balance and fruit purity across Burgundy, is expected to yield an Aloxe Corton with both immediate appeal and considerable ageing potential, showcasing ripe red fruit nuances underpinned by earthy complexity and a persistent finish.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Aloxe Corton from Domaine Latour presents a vibrant ruby hue. On the nose, an aromatic profile of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of raspberry is complemented by subtle undertones of forest floor, damp earth, and a touch of spice. The palate reveals a medium-bodied wine with a firm, yet integrated, tannic structure and bright acidity. Flavours mirror the nose, with red berry fruit leading, evolving into more savoury, mineral notes on the mid-palate. The finish is persistent, clean, and promises further complexity with bottle age.
