Tasting notes
Dive into this fjord of perfectly ripe black fruit and this enormous pile of very fine tannins. So much vitality, in spite of the concentration on the full but definitely not opulent body. Clove and cardamon at the very expressive, long finish. Drink or hold.

100% new oak. Fine Clos de Vougeot with the power expected from the grand cru. Almost sweet in dark-fruit ripeness, this is structured and designed for the long haul. Firm, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity suggest this will drink well for a decade or more. (AWH)

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.
