Region
From the hill of Corton running south to the town of Beaune and Santenay at it`s tip, the Côte de Beaune represents the southern half of the vineyards of Côte d`Or. It is famous for its mix of Grand and Premier Cru white and red wines including Montrachet, Corton, Puligny, Pommard and Volnay.
Producer
The origins of Domaine Louis Latour stretch as far back as 1768 from the village of Aloxe-Corton. The Domaine, still centred on this tiny village, has since grown to become a collection of the finest vineyards in the region, today totalling almost 50 hectares and embracing the most extensive array of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, with 17 of these hectares located in Corton.
Tasting Notes
From the famous Corton-Charlemagne AOC in the Cote de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. A pale gold in colour with notes of apples and toasted almonds on the nose. The palate is powerful and generous with fleshy peach and apple notes combined with cream and almonds. The silky mouthfeel is balanced perfectly with a fresh acidity and a distinctive minerality.
Food
Pair with Lobster bisque or shellfish dishes.
