Last Tasted 7/92 Most 1983 white burgundies have begun to lose their fruit and display the enormous levels of alcohol they possess. While the 1983 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne has always been one of the most successful wines of the vintage, this bottle is just beginning to slip in quality. It has been a gorgeously opulent, rich, honeyed, extremely powerful example of white burgundy, with well over 14% alcohol. The fruit covered the alcohol during its first 5-6 years of life, but now the alcohol's heat can be felt. If you are cellaring stocks of this wine, I would opt for drinking it up as quickly as possible.
Informazioni sul produttore
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
