Note di degustazione
The 2015 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru offers up a pretty bouquet of sweet red cherry and plum with nuances of orange rind and rose petal, as well as a touch of alcoholic heat which depresses my score. On the palate, the wine is supple, expansive and medium to full-bodied, shutting down hard on the finish with fine but firm, chalky tannins. It's hard to say how this will evolve.

Cask sample. Ripe, rich fruit on the nose. Not much in the way of complexity on the palate. Furry tannin. Quite exotic spice just comes through on the finish. Grainy texture. Doesn’t seem to have the reach of the greatest burgundies. (RH)
The Perrières will form the base of Maison Latour's venerable Corton-Grancey bottling, and it reveals a more supple, expansive profile than the Clos de la Vigne au Saint. It has darker fruit tones though similar dimension, with its tannic chassis more deeply enrobed in fruit than its harder, more masculine sibling.
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.
