This 2022 Aloxe‑Corton from Domaine Latour offers an expressive nose of cherry, licorice and exotic spices. On the palate it is beautifully balanced, with elegant structure, fine tannins and a softly woody finish. The grapes are grown on the stony hillsides at the foot of Corton, part of the family’s 50‑hectare Burgundy estate, crafted using traditional oak ageing from the domaine’s own cooperage. Maison Louis Latour has remained family‑owned since 1797, renowned for producing classic, terroir‑driven Burgundies.

“Firmly structure with a positive celery root and stem character, this has a quite a sleek and crisp personality, but there’s also the lovely red fruit character of the vintage. From 5 hectares of vineyards in this commune. Long, clean finish.” 93 points, James Suckling
