Product details
Louis Latour Corton Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru 1999 is a rare and distinguished expression from one of Burgundy’s most historic family houses. The name “Grancey” honors the estate’s former owners before the Latour family acquired the property in 1891. This exclusive Grand Cru is crafted from a masterful blend of five prestigious parcels within Domaine Latour’s holdings on the Corton hill—Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes—with proportions determined by the character of each vintage. Sourced from vines averaging more than four decades in age, each parcel is matured separately before only the finest barrels are selected for the final assemblage. Produced solely in years of optimal ripeness and quality, the 1999 vintage stands as a testament to rigorous selection and enduring craftsmanship.
In the glass, it reveals a medium cherry-ruby hue with graceful clarity. The bouquet is delicate yet expressive, offering aromas of ripe plum, raspberry, and red cherry intertwined with subtle oak influence. On the palate, it shows firm structure and impressive depth of fruit, supported by soft, well-integrated tannins that lend balance and refinement. Medium-bodied yet layered, it concludes with a long, elegant finish marked by poise and persistence. This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with roasted beef, wild boar, quail, duck à l’orange, and mature cheeses, enhancing both special occasions and fine dining experiences.
