Summer is only a few days away, and can you guess what pairs well with summer sunshine? A crisp glass of high quality white Burgundy! We’re highlighting one you’re going to love from Louis Latour, a benchmark producer when it comes to Corton Charlemagne. The Latour family is the largest landowner of the Corton Charlemagne appellation and has been producing wines for over 200 years.
“Although equipped with the most modern tools and equipment, the winemaking methods remain simple and traditional. The Louis Latour style is an auspicious combination of the richness of nature and the skill of man's labour. We respect the natural rhythm of the vines and make our wines in harmony with their nature, with the aim of offering full expression to the elegance and the balance of the great terroirs of Burgundy.” (Louis Latour Website)
While other producers have raised prices, this legend has only raised the quality. The 97-point 2013 vintage is phenomenal; it’s an old school legend in one of its best vintages. In fact, it’s one of the four Corton Charlemagnes that Dave Sokolin is drinking this summer and serving to his guests.
“This is one of my favorite vintages of this legendary Grand Cru white Burgundy at turn-back-the-clock pricing. It’s priced 50% less than others, yet I prefer it to the rest! This vintage is magical and timeless. It seems to defy logic with its ability to drink great today, yet will age gracefully for decades.” – Dave Sokolin
Wine critic, James Suckling, even stated in his review, “Drink, if you can find it.” A 97-point Grand Cru priced at $99.95 is a steal for a wine of this pedigree and quality. We only have a limited quantity of cases left and expect it to sell quickly, so if you’re a white Burgundy lover, order your case today!
