"A successful blend of finesse and power, with excellent ageing potential!
"A smoky, earthy wine with an extremely firm structure. Wonderful forest fruit. Very crisp palate with lots of energy and lively acidity, the finish is radically mineral. Needs a little time, but this is a very impressive wine for the appellation and has decades of aging potential." (James Suckling 2022).

Rated wine 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Supple, delicate, perhaps less charming and generous than the magnificent village, but a hint of mineral tension still hardens it for the moment. Wait until 2030.
About the domain :
Founded in 1797, this family-run business has strong links with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, culminating in a sumptuous site on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latour, presides over the family board and has every confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have had their fermentation times extended, giving them more flesh and body, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant quest for balance that sometimes makes them undervalued in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015, in both colors, but we'll trust the cuvées from the estate's vines more than certain purchases, especially the overly diluted whites.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
An independent family business, founded in 1797 and run successively by 10 generations of Latour. A key player in Burgundy winegrowing and the largest owner of Grands Crus in the Côte-d'Or (28 hectares of its 48 hectares of vineyards). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family's birthplace, and the company has its own cooperage.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Aromas of cherry, raspberry, petal and spice herald the 2020 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Chaillots, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine, powerful and broad-shouldered, with rich, powdery tannins and a long finish.
