Louis Latour - Corton-Perrieres Grand Cru 2013
Tasting notes
Our Corton Grand Cru << Perrières >> 2013 reveals a dark ruby color. The nose presents notes of liquorice, raspberry, wild strawberry and vanilla. The mouse is very ample with mint, liquorice, clove and smoked aromas.
Description
Located on the hill of the Corton Grand Crus at an altitude of 273 meters in an old stone quarry, the 'Perrieres' parcel of vines has a perfect south-easterly exposition. Our Cuverie Corton Grancey is embedded in this terroir. There are brown and red clay soils which produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in a traditional way by Domaine Louis LATOUR. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes.
