Tasting notes
Our Aloxe-Corton "Domaine Latour" 2014 shows a nice ruby red colour. On the nose, the finesse dominates : cherry, liquorice and mocha notes. On the palate, the tannins are discret and the woody taste is melllow. The finish offers a superb freshness.
Description
Aloxe-Corton has been the home of the Latour family and the heart of Domaine Louis Latour for centuries. The village of Aloxe-Corton is located in the north of the Cote de Beaune on a stony hillside at the foot of the hill of Corton. It was in 1862 that the name of the climat Corton was added to the village name Aloxe. The vineyards of Domaine Louis Latour surround this famous village and yield a classic Aloxe-Corton.
