Maison Louis Latour - Corton-Charlemagne Grand cru 2022
99/100
James Suckling
"Awarded a 99/100 by James Suckling, this great Chardonnay of extraordinary concentration verges on perfection, in limited quantities!"
"This wine almost perfectly blends vanilla oak with a wide range of citrus and stone fruit aromas in a totally convincing way, and is most striking at the beginning of the palate. A golden richness then appears on the very concentrated mid-palate, followed by a huge wave of chalky minerality. The aftertaste is incredibly long and concentrated. Drink now, but preferably from 2025." (James Suckling 2024)

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
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.
