James Suckling 97pt

Fresh, lively and elegant, this is not at all what the world expects from this Grand Cru, but it is so exciting, whipping across your palate at a very brisk clip. Silky tannins and a really long, stony finish with terrific energy.

by James Suckling, 2025
Wine Spectator 94pt

Graphite, smoke, black cherry, blackberry, earth, sandalwood and toasty oak flavors permeate this muscular red. Feels balanced and complex despite a final impression of gripping tannins; this just needs time.

by Wine Spectator, 2025

Description

"Grancey" was the name of the last owners of the chateau situated on the road of Corton, before the Latour family bought it in 1891. This wine, produced by Maison Louis Latour, is unique and exclusive. It is a blend of five areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrieres, Greves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes, the proportions of which vary depending on the vintage. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. After aging individually, only the best barrels are assembled to create the Chateau Corton Grancey. It is produced only when the grapes reach perfect ripeness; vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified.
