"Elegance, precision and balance: this Latour cuvée lives up to its name.
"This wine's nose already hints at its graceful balance of fruit and spice. A sophisticated intensity of crushed cherry, cranberry and pomegranate is presented on a linear palate, with a deep core of perfectly ripe red berries and a touch of salinity that testifies to its precision and ripeness." (Wine Enthusiast 2023)

Rated wine 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
A great wine is in the making, black in color, very rare at Chambolle but specific to the vintage, with a flowery nose, taffeta texture, ideal ripeness of the grapes, and a high level of alcohol but without heaviness. Great follow-through on the palate. Wait twelve to fifteen years.
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.
