Tasting notes
The toasted oak-scented 1999 Batard-Montrachet bursts on the palate with loads of power and density. This medium-bodied, expansive wine is chewy-textured, deep, and loaded with spicy white fruits. It is well-balanced, lush, and possesses an admirably long, flavorful finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2008. Maison Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.

About the producer
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.
