Tasting notes
Performing well in bottle, Latour's 2017 Château Corton-Grancey Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with aromas of wild berries, dark chocolate and sweet soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with fine-grained structuring tannins and bright acids, concluding with a long and delicately mineral finish.

Love the aromas of iron, rust, walnuts and subtle ripe fruit that follow through to a well knit, medium body with a pretty mid-palate of subtle fruit and flavor. Delicious after 2022.
Cask sample. Mid smudgy crimson. Light, rather indistinct nose. Lots of charm and sweet fruit on the front palate. Juice and charm in spades. Eerily approachable, with just a hint of ripe tannins on the back palate. (JR)
