Maison Louis Latour Château Corton Grancey Grand Cru 2022 Review
Corton is the largest Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, a massive appellation covered in upwards of 400 acres of vines. Maison Louis Latour purchased this château in the commune of Aloxe-Corton in the late 19th century, when phylloxera had ravaged most of Europe’s wine industry. To preserve the name of the Grancey family who came before them, he named it after them: the Château Corton Grancey.
This wine is expensive, yet in the grand scheme of Grand Cru Burgundy it is an entry point to some of the best wine in the world. This wine is a blend of Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes — five climats in Corton. Each is vinified individually, then blended, and the wine is made only in the best years with the best fruit.
The wine begins with a shy whisper of earthy cherries. As oxygen rushes in, it reveals a subtle, savory, peppery waft of winter roast. The palate is a study in the pure reflection of the earth in which the fruit grew. The mouthfeel is soft, with absolute harmony between fruit and acidity. It’s drinking well now, but will only improve with a few years in bottle.
