The 2015 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a powerful, opulent white Burgundy that showcases both the richness of the warm 2015 vintage and the scale of one of Corton-Charlemagne’s largest and most historic landowners. Louis Latour, established in 1797, is the largest proprietor in Corton-Charlemagne with over 10 hectares of prime southeast-facing limestone vineyards, producing a Chardonnay of serious concentration and ageability. The 2015 vintage offers aromas of almonds, honey, vanilla, smoky oak, citrus oil, and white flowers, with a palate layered in ripe orchard fruit, toasted hazelnut, saline minerality, and a broad, luxurious texture. Critically, this vintage was highly praised, earning scores up to 97 points from James Suckling, 95 from Wine Enthusiast, and 95 from The World of Fine Wine. While Louis Latour’s use of 100% new French oak can make the wine bold and immediately impressive, time in bottle has allowed the oak to integrate more gracefully, revealing stronger mineral precision and balance. It is considered a “blockbuster” style Corton-Charlemagne—full-bodied, rich, and muscular—yet with enough acidity and structure to cellar through 2035 or longer.
