Robert Parker

William Kelley

The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Perrières is showing well, offering up aromas of cherry, cassis, candied peel and subtle hints of coniferous forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with tangy acids and fine but chalky tannins that assert themselves on the sapid finish. It's very true to type and will give pleasure for over a decade.

Dense cherry fruit with a leafy bitterness on the palate which goes a bit sour on the finish. The fruit character is ripe, but the herby element makes it bitter overall. (RH)

The estate

Founded in 1797, the Louis Latour estate is the largest Grands Crus estate in the Côte d'Or in Burgundy, with iconic plots in Aloxe-Corton, notably Corton-Charlemagne. This independent family-owned house for over two centuries is distinguished by its integrated cooperage, a heritage dating back to the 18th century.

The vineyard

The "Perrières" climat is located in the north of the Beaune appellation, on a 1.32-hectare east-facing hillside. This terroir is characterized by shallow, very poor clay-limestone soils, set on a steep slope near former limestone quarry faces.

Winemaking and aging

Winemaking is carried out traditionally in open vats with full malolactic fermentation. Aging lasts 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels from the Louis Latour cooperage, with 35% new oak and medium toast, allowing the wine to develop its structure and aromatic complexity.

Grape variety

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir.
