Louis Latour Aloxe Corton 'Domaine Latour' originates from France, within the Burgundy region and the Côte de Beaune subregion. The village of Aloxe Corton has served as the historic home of the Latour family and the core of the estate for centuries. The winery's philosophy emphasizes a deep respect for individual terroirs, managing vineyards that surround the famous village to craft an authentic expression of the local stony hillsides.
Wine Description
This red wine presents an attractive deep ruby red appearance and possesses a medium body. The sensory profile is classic and terroir driven, opening with a delicate nose of fresh cherries, raspberries, and redcurrants, seamlessly interwoven with light spices and earthy forest undergrowth. On the ample palate, it delivers structured, velvety tannins and a juicy stream of red berry fruits, layered with complex hints of liquorice and cherry pit. The finish is long, elegant, and balanced, showing a slightly savoury character with lingering fruit purity and soft oak nuances.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its excellent balance and freshness; it undergoes traditional fermentation in open vats with 100% malolactic fermentation before ageing for 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels, 15% of which are new.
ABV: 13%.
Organic Status: The estate is managed under agriculture raisonnée (sustainable viticulture) principles, though this bottling is not certified organic.
Food Pairing
The savory character and structured frame of this Pinot Noir make it an exceptional match for hearty poultry and red meat preparations.
Meats: Pairs beautifully with classic coq au vin, fondue bourguignonne, flash fried steak, and roasted red meats.
Game: Complements game birds such as roasted duck or goose.
Cheese: Matches exceptionally well with a selection of mature, well affined cheeses.
Vintage Quality
The 2023 Burgundy vintage is regarded as a highly successful year that produced wines with magnificent fruit purity and structural depth. Following a relatively benign winter, the growing season encountered a tumultuous spring that fluctuated between unseasonably warm and chilly periods, which demanded careful management in the vineyards. The winemaker's skill in handling these climatic shifts allowed the 30 year old vines to achieve ideal ripening, creating an Aloxe Corton release noted for its balance between firm structure and beautiful red fruit complexity.
