Louis Latour - Aloxe-Corton 2004

Aloxe-Corton has been the home of the Latour family and the heart of Domaine Louis Latour for centuries. Vinification, traditional open vat fermentation followed by 10 to 12 months ageing in oak casks.

This light ruby colored wine is complex with intense red pinot fruit aromas. Flavours of cherry are complemented with floral notes and some earthy hints. In the mouth, this 2004 Aloxe-Corton is very well-balanced, with supple tannins. A length and harmony that will evolve beautifully within a few years.
