🏰 The 2010 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from a vintage described as having great presence and captivating elegance. Louis Latour holds the distinction of being the largest owner in the Corton-Charlemagne appellation, with 10.5 hectares. Their pioneering decision to plant Chardonnay after the phylloxera epidemic led to the creation of one of 布根地's most celebrated white wines. 【Largest owner in Corton-Charlemagne, pioneering Chardonnay planting】
This wine offers a round profile with a pungent bouquet of grilled almonds and vanilla. The palate delivers a nice fullness with integrated oak and a long, mineral finish. It's powerful and classically styled, showcasing aromas of lemon zest, green apple, toasted almond, and flint. Expect a broad and concentrated palate with citrus and stone fruit, firm acidity, layers of hazelnut, and subtle oak, culminating in a long, structured, and distinctly mineral finish. With a decade of age, it reveals a light golden hue and a developed bouquet with ginger and pepper-like spice, racy richness, and a creamy mineral component.
🍴 This Grand Cru white pairs exquisitely with shellfish, lobster, foie gras, various fish dishes, and mature cheeses. It also complements grilled ono beautifully.
🥂 While already enjoyable, this wine truly deserves a few more years of cellaring to reach its peak, with a potential to age for 10-15 years. Its drinking window extends from 2014-2025, or even 2021-2031. It's a superb choice for significant celebrations or as a testament to the art of aging fine white 布根地.
BACKGROUND

A majority of the wine portfolio is produced from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine grape varieties. The Latour family have grown grapes as far back as the 17th Century in Aloxe-Corton. They acquired a 125 acre (50 ha) domaine and the Corton Grancey winery was built in 1834.
