Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2016 0.75 l

The aroma reveals fresh hazelnuts, roasted notes, marzipan, vanilla, and citrus fruits. In the mouth, the wine is powerful, concentrated, and extremely complex – with notes of almonds, linden blossom, light toasty undertones, and a distinct minerality. The long finish is complemented by citrus and subtle salty notes, characteristic of the best Corton-Charlemagne wines. Aging potential – 10–15 years and more.

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is one of the most prestigious white wine appellations in the world. The vineyards are located on the southeast slope of Corton Hill, where stony limestone soil and excellent sun exposure allow for the cultivation of Chardonnay of exceptional concentration. After the phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century, the Latour family made the bold decision to uproot the deceased Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines and replant them with Chardonnay – a decision that helped create one of the world's most famous white Grand Cru wines.
