Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru Clos de la Vigne au Saint 2017

Clos de la Vigne au Saint is a very old vineyard; the earliest known record of its existence is in 1375 when it is mentioned in the records of the Chapter of Saulieu. The Latour family have a long connection with this vineyard which began in 1738 when Louis Latour's great great grandmother owned a section of the vineyard. Since then, it has remained in family hands, passing from generation to generation. The vineyard has perfect southerly exposure on the Corton hill lying on a bedrock outcrop towards the bottom of the slope. The soil is a rusty red colour and rich in marl, which gives the wines distinct aromas. This wine possesses the elegance that we expect from a Côte d'Or Grand Cru and will age particularly well.

With a bright ruby color, our Corton "Clos de la Vigne au Saint" reveals on the nose aromas of cherry, licorice, vanilla and nutmeg. It shows a lot of finesse on the palate and soft tannins. Nice length with notes of toasted almond.
