Product details
The Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru Clos de la Vigne au Saint 2022 is a distinguished expression of Burgundy’s Grand Cru heritage, rooted in a site with over six centuries of viticultural history. First recorded in 1375 and held by the Latour family since 1738, the Clos de la Vigne au Saint vineyard is emblematic of deep generational stewardship. Situated on the lower slopes of the Corton hill with ideal southern exposure, the vineyard’s marl-rich, rusty red soils contribute distinctive aromatic complexity to the wine. Fermentation is carried out traditionally in open vats, followed by 10 to 12 months of aging in French oak barrels (35% new), crafted by the estate’s own cooperage and medium toasted to frame the wine with subtle structure.
In the glass, the 2022 vintage displays a deep ruby hue and a nose that interlaces blackcurrant, forest floor, and warming clove notes. The palate is equally expressive, offering layers of red fruits and hints of liquorice, lifted by a vibrant freshness and framed by silky tannins. This Grand Cru holds the elegance expected from a Côte d'Or classic and has the depth and structure to reward cellaring. It pairs exceptionally with rich, game-driven dishes such as roasted hare, partridge, or duck à l'orange, and finds harmony with aged cheeses that enhance its earthy complexity. A wine that beautifully embodies the Latour family’s commitment to tradition, terroir, and timeless finesse.
