"A long and very expressive finish, according to James Suckling!"
"Immerse yourself in this river of perfectly ripe black fruits and this immense ensemble of very fine tannins. So much vitality, despite the concentration of the full-bodied but certainly not opulent palate. Clove and cardamom on the very expressive and long finish. Drink now or keep." (James Suckling 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is mainly linked to the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, with a sumptuous location on the famous Corton hillside as its highlight. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latours, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have undergone longer fermentation, giving them more body and substance, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant search for balance that sometimes leads them to be underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015 for both colors, but we would place more trust in the cuvées from the estate's own vines than in certain purchases, especially the whites, which are too diluted.

About the estate:

About wine:
The floral and herbaceous nose is followed by a layer of blackcurrant in this voluptuous expression. Dense and rich, with a scent of rose and blood orange peel enveloping firm black cherries and thyme, yet deep and enveloping, the palate welcomes freshness with plums and black blood berries, framed by toasted notes.

About wine:
A high-quality Clos de Vougeot with the power expected of a grand cru. Almost sweet in its black fruit ripeness, this wine is structured and designed for the long term. Firm, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity suggest that this wine will drink well for a decade or more. 2024-2035
