Louis Latour Les Petits Monts – Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru – Red – 2017:

 

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru: Louis Latour’s Jewel of the Côte

Maison Louis Latour’s Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts” is a classic Red Burgundy, capturing the aristocratic finesse of its legendary appellation. Located on the upper slopes of the Côte de Nuits, the ‘Les Petits Monts’ vineyard yields a Pinot Noir of exceptional purity and longevity, a wine that truly competes with its Grand Cru neighbours.

Tasting Notes & Characteristics

• Colour: A deep, captivating garnet with a dark core.
• Nose: Complex and evolving, offering rich notes of black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), a signature mocha-coffee nuance, liquorice, and a delicate spice from French oak.
• Palate: Elegant and beautifully balanced-both fresh and full-bodied. The mouthfeel is silky, with lovely, fine tannins framing the concentrated fruit and subtle roasted undertones. Expect a long, satisfying finish.

Food Matching & Serving

A wine of this stature demands equally fine cuisine. Serve this Premier Cru at 15°C-17°C (59°F-63°F). Decanting for an hour will be beneficial in its youth, but its true magic unfolds after 10-12 years in the cellar.

• Food Matches: Venison Casserole with Cranberries, Roast Grouse, Beef Wellington, Mature French or British Cheeses.
