2018 Domaine Louis Latour 'Clos de la Vigne au Saint' Corton Grand Cru
A stunning Grand Cru from one of Burgundy’s most historic vineyards, the 2018 Clos de la Vigne au Saint delivers purity, depth, and elegance in every sip. Crushed berries, dried lemon, and savory mushroom notes meet cedar undertones, layered over a full-bodied frame with silky tannins and a fresh, lingering finish.
This legendary vineyard, dating back to 1375, has been part of the Latour family legacy since 1738. Its perfect southern exposure on the Corton hill and marl-rich soils imbue the wine with distinctive character and aromatic complexity. Aged 10-12 months in 35% new French oak from the Latour cooperage, this is Grand Cru Burgundy at its finest.
With over 200 years of Burgundian history, there are few names that move the needle like Louis Latour. Family run since 1797, they have built a reputation for tradition and innovation that continues to set the gold standard today, striving to embed the specific conditions of terroir into each bottle they produce. Corton-Charlmagne is a vineyard where magic happens. Situated at the top of the hill of Corton, the limestone rich soil is the perfect home for these Chardonnay vines of legendary status, helping them express the true nature of their Burgundian roots in grand fashion. Simply put, it just doesn’t get much better than this.

Lovely purity of fruit with crushed berries, dried lemons, mushrooms and cedar undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with soft tannins. Savory and subtly fruity at the same time. Drink after 2022.
