Note di degustazione
Gave every sign of having reached full maturity. Full bodied without much acidity. A hint of almond and a hint of smoky reduction, but it lacked real focus – though admittedly it was served with very spicy food . (JR)

Displaying a deep, sweet but unyielding nose, the Montrachet possesses a super-structured, buttery, hyper-ripe (not over-ripe) mouth. A textbook Montrachet, it combines the elegant, minerally aspects of a Chevalier and the fat, lush, almost tropical tones of a Batard in a full-bodied wine with great length. Made for the long haul, it will age beautifully for 20+ years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. At Louis Latour the wine making is entrusted to Jean-Pierre Jobard, the brother of Francois and Charles Jobard, two well-known names in Meursault. Jobard commented that the acid in 1995 reminded him of the 1988. Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.

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.
