All the darkness and danger of Corton are married to a stunning mineral freshness that's totally uplifting. Great Amarena cherry fruit, fruit that you want to bathe in. The way the fine tannins and acidity interlock is fabulous, and for all the ripeness of the vintage the finish is super-straight and energetic. From the first vineyard the Latour family acquired in 1738. Limited production. Drink or hold.

There's fine purity to the juicy, ripe cherry, raspberry, rose and rich earth aromas and flavors of this red. An underlying mineral component adds depth and dimension as this builds to the long, complex aftertaste. Harmony and elegance are its hallmarks, with a silky texture and excellent length.
