Domaine Louis Latour Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru 2018
40% OFF RETAIL!
Domaine Louis Latour’s Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru 2018 is a striking expression of Burgundy’s only red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune. Grown on a historic monopole vineyard owned exclusively by Latour, the wine balances depth and finesse with notes of ripe red cherry, plum, earth, and spice framed by firm yet polished tannins. Built for aging, this Grand Cru will evolve beautifully over the next decade or more, pairing seamlessly with game, duck, or mushroom-driven dishes.
About The Producer
Domaine Louis Latour, established in 1797, is a family-owned winery in Burgundy, France, with roots in viticulture dating back to the 17th century. The estate encompasses 50 hectares of exceptional vineyards, including 27 hectares of Grand Cru—the largest such holding in Burgundy—spanning renowned appellations like Chambertin and Romanée-Saint-Vivant in the Côte de Nuits, and Corton-Charlemagne and Chevalier-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune.
The Latour family has been cultivating vines in the village of Aloxe-Corton since the 1760s, eventually establishing Maison Louis Latour in 1797.
In 1832, they constructed the Corton Grancey Cuverie, France's first purpose-built winery, ingeniously designed over five levels to utilize gravity in the winemaking process.
Today, under the stewardship of the 11th generation, Domaine Louis Latour continues to honor its rich heritage while embracing sustainable viticulture practices. The estate produces wines that reflect the unique terroirs of Burgundy, maintaining a commitment to quality and tradition that has defined the family business for over two centuries.
