Description

Located on the hill of the Corton Grand Crus at an altitude of 273 meters in an old stone quarry, the "Perrieres" parcel of vines has a perfect south-easterly exposure. Our Corton Grancey winery is built into this terroir. There are brown and red clay soils which produce a delicious and intense wine. The well-aged vines are managed in a traditional way by Domaine Louis Latour. Severe pruning allows a later harvest and ensures a good level of maturity and richness in the grapes.

Tasting Notes

The Corton "Perrieres" 2020 shows a deep ruby hue. It seduces us with notes of cherry, undergrowth, and cloves. These aromas give complexity to the wine that is matched with a soft and ample mouthfeel and silky tannins. Nicely lingering in the finish with licorice and toasty notes.
