“A successful blend of finesse and power, with excellent aging potential!”
“A smoky, earthy wine with an extremely firm structure. Wonderful wild fruit. Very crisp on the palate with plenty of energy and lively acidity; the finish is intensely mineral. It needs a little time, but it’s a very impressive wine for the appellation and has the potential to age for several decades.” (James Suckling 2022).

Wine rated 91/100
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the wine:
Supple, delicate, and refined, it may be less charming and generous than the magnificent village wine, but a hint of mineral tension still gives it a bit of edge for now. Wait until 2030.
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is primarily associated with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns the bulk of its vineyards, culminating in a magnificent vineyard on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of the Latour family, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his exceptional winemakers. The reds have undergone extended fermentation, giving them more body and substance; the whites are less reductive and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant pursuit of balance that sometimes leads to them being underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. The 2017 vintage follows in the successful footsteps of the 2010 and 2015 vintages for both reds and whites, but we would place more confidence in the wines from the estate’s own vineyards than in certain purchased wines—especially the whites, which are too diluted.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A family-owned estate that has always remained independent, founded in 1797 and run by 10 successive generations of the Latour family. A key player in Burgundy’s wine industry and the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte-d’Or (28 hectares out of the 48 that make up its vineyard). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family’s birthplace, and the estate has its own cooperage.

Rated estate (2024 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Aromas of cherry, raspberry, floral notes, and spices herald the 2020 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Chaillots, a medium- to full-bodied wine that is full-flavored and robust, powerful and broad-shouldered, with rich, velvety tannins and a long finish.

About the wine:
A smoky, earthy wine with an extremely firm structure. Wonderful wild fruit. Very crisp on the palate with plenty of energy and lively acidity; the finish is intensely mineral. It needs a little time, but it’s a very impressive wine for the appellation and has aging potential spanning several decades. Ready to drink now, but best enjoyed starting in 2024.
