Domaine Louis Latour - Aloxe-Corton

Burgundy - Aloxe-Corton AOP

Vineyard
Aloxe-Corton is the cradle of the Latour family and the heart of Domaine Louis Latour for two centuries. The village is located on a stony hillside, at the foot of the Corton mountain. It was in 1862 that the name of one of the climats “Corton” was added to Aloxe. Dominating Aloxe-Corton, the vines of Domaine Louis Latour, averaging 30 years old, produce a typical Aloxe-Corton. A merchant-breeder since 1797, the House remains independent and family-run today, with Louis-Fabrice Latour at its head, representing the eleventh generation.

Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in open vats. Then the aging which takes place for 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels, 15% of the barrels come from the Louis Latour cooperage.

Tasting
With a deep garnet color, this wine reveals an intense nose with aromas of licorice, mocha and black cherry. The palate is ample and we find notes of black cherry and mocha with smooth tannins and very nice length.
