Tasting Notes
Description
The 2015 vintage is an extraordinary one throughout the Côte d'Or. The red wines are rich, powerful, and statuesque but almost always underpinned by juicy acidity. The distinctive characteristics of the region's diverse terroirs, which can be occluded by overripeness in warm years, are articulately expressed.
"Grancey" was the name of the last owners of the Château situated on the road of Corton before the Latour family bought it in 1891. This wine, produced by Maison Louis Latour, is unique and exclusive.
It is a blend of five areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes, the proportions of which vary depending on the vintage. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. After aging individually, only the best barrels are meticulously selected to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine produced only if the grapes are of perfect maturity; vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified.
