Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Slightly paler in color than its peers, the Corton-Grancey Grand Cru ‘11 has quite a conservative bouquet with earthy tones, the stem addition becoming increasingly conspicuous as it opens up. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins and a slightly meaty finish with dried blood on the aftertaste. This never quite takes off as it threatens.

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.
