Louis Latour, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy, 1979

Drinking Window: 2021 – 2021
The 1979 continues to outshine the 1978 and remains on a plateau. Orange in colour, it delivers a spice box of flavours along with hints of coffee and smoke. A refined wine, it remains balanced and elegant despite bombarding the senses. A subtle creaminess, not the butterscotch character of the other white grand crus, is alluring. Funny colour, but great flavours.
