Score 86/100 · Drink 2021-2026, Neal Martin, Aug 2021
The 1985 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a rich, honeyed bouquet that evidences a lot of botrytis in the vineyard. It is spicy and waxy in texture, exactly what you want from a Corton-Charlemagne, though it is missing freshness and tension on the finish. Drink soon.

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.
