Score 87-88/100 · Drink 2001-2007, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2001
The ruby-colored 1999 Beaune Vignes Franches displays loads of cherries and spices in its aromatics. This medium-bodied wine has excellent depth of fruit to its red cherry, blackberry, and blueberry-flavored character. It is velvety-textured, and has an extremely long, silky finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Maison Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.

About the producer

Louis Latour
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
