Tasting notes
Located in the north, close to Savigny, this used to be a quarry. 25% new oak. Great freshness counterbalancing the rich, velvety texture on the palate. Deep colour and plenty of density, yet this is unmistakably burgundy. (AWH)

Such a fragrant and generous Beaune Premier Cru with a wonderful balance of full, fine tannins and ample cherry fruit, the balance spot-on. Very long finish, supported by an abundance of powdery tannins. So much energy and excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.
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.
