Tasting Notes

A dense, layered young red with extraordinary depth and power. Muscular, yet so balanced and polished. The ripe strawberry and cherry character is impressive with hints of hazelnuts and mushrooms. But it’s the texture that makes it great. It’s an indication of the superb structure. Try after 2025.

There is no especial density of colour to this flagship Louis Latour wine. The bouquet, which is otherwise on the quiet side, shows the oak first up. Darker fruit on the palate, with several layers and the tannins are well managed. A good to very good Burgundy without quite fulfilling the potential of Romanée St-Vivant.
