Tasting Notes

Domaine Louis Latour Château Corton Grancey 2005 stands as a distinguished emblem of Burgundian mastery, brought to life by Maison Louis Latour, a celebrated family-owned estate with roots dating back to 1797. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir is meticulously crafted from grapes grown on the esteemed Corton hillside, a terroir recognized for producing some of Burgundy’s most prestigious and age-worthy wines.

The 2005 vintage is renowned for its ideal climatic conditions, yielding wines with exceptional concentration, silky tannins, and remarkable balance.

The wine expresses an elegant structure and depth, showcasing layers of luscious red berries, subtle mineral nuances, and delicate spice notes, all wrapped in a velvety, refined palate.

Harvested from a carefully maintained private cellar, this wine exemplifies the artisanal dedication and precision that Maison Louis Latour embodies. It reflects the unique characteristics of the Corton terroir—the only Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy that offers both red and white wines—through its distinctive power and finesse. With a compelling finish that lingers gracefully, the Château Corton Grancey 2005 reveals its full potential with age, promising evolving complexity and sophistication over decades.

Celebrated as a benchmark Grand Cru Pinot Noir, this wine combines remarkable longevity and finesse, making it a highly prized selection for collectors and connoisseurs alike. It encapsulates centuries of tradition and the exceptional terroir of Burgundy, capturing the essence of a vintage that continues to impress for its unique balance and aging capabilities.

Critic Scores

Moderately intense. Concentrated but still muted on the nose, subsequently offering morello cherry and ripe rapsberry notes over undergrowth. A dense, still tightly-wound, extremely young wine boasting superb potential. Cellar and decant when ready.

By contrast to the 2009, from a very early vintage, hot and ripe. A blend of four different Corton parcels. Fine, attractive colour with ruby and a touch of blood and brick at the rim. Very delicate subtle complexity, a touch of dried blood and tobacco or dried herbs, and still quite bold red fruits. Delicious freshness on the palate, with a smooth, refined cherry fruitiness and although there is obvious ripeness in this hot year, it has a lovely edgy and briar freshness and little endive and cardamom notes. Very long and fine.

This is one of Louis Latour's flagship reds, a powerful wine, with its dense, solid fruits, big tannins and concentration. Those black plum juices are building up behind a firm layer of dryness. Wait until 2012 before even considering drinking.
