Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne 2003 750mL Bin Soiled Label

Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne 2003 750mL (Bin Soiled Label) is a white Burgundy from the Corton-Charlemagne grand cru on the hill of Corton above Aloxe-Corton, bottled in 750mL with blemished label. The 2003 vintage is widely noted for a hot, ripe growing season, and Latour’s cuvée from this appellation is built for long cellaring.

From the Producer

Maison Louis Latour is one of Burgundy’s oldest négociant houses, tracing its Beaune cellars back to 1797 and remaining family-owned. The house is the largest owner of vines in the Corton-Charlemagne grand cru and is also known for domaine farming of Latour-owned parcels. Corton-Charlemagne lies on the upper, limestone-rich slopes of the Corton hill, planted exclusively to Chardonnay; Latour’s bottling conventionally ferments and ages in oak and is built to develop slowly over decades.

Tasting Notes

Appearance — deep gold, indicating mature white Burgundy.
Nose — ripe orchard and stone fruit, beeswax, toasted hazelnut, honeycomb and a mineral, slightly oxidative edge from age.
Palate — full and unctuous, with a hot-vintage richness tempered by chalky acidity.
Finish — long and savoury, with nutty oak and a saline-mineral close.

Best For

White Burgundy collectors, Corton-Charlemagne enthusiasts and diners pairing with lobster, roast poultry, aged Comté or rich fish courses.
