“A great Pommard 1er cru!”

“The striking aroma of wild blackberries draws you into this medium- to full-bodied Pommard, bursting with fruit and featuring fine tannins. It’s full of vitality and minerality, yet shows no trace of the dryness for which this appellation is known. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2022)

Wine rated 90/100

Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

Part of the wine comes from the estate, and part is sourced as grapes; overall, it’s fairly classic—more robust than the estate-grown vines but less elegant and refined in texture, though it still possesses an energy that will allow it to age well. It will reach its peak around 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.

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.
