Tasting notes
The 2016 Montrachet Grand Cru is showing nicely from bottle, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crisp pear, lime zest, subtle citrus blossom and toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, unctuous and saline, with a textural attack but tangy balancing acids and a long, lingering finish. The frost impact lends this Montrachet a slightly atypical equilibrium, but it's a definite success for Latour.

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.
