Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Louis Latour, 2000

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Latour is one of Burgundy’s great white wines, combining power, precision, and remarkable aging pedigree. From one of the Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated Grand Cru sites, this 2000 vintage reflects both the prestige of the appellation and the longstanding expertise of one of Burgundy’s most respected houses.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep gold hue that reflects its age and concentration. The nose often opens with layered aromas of ripe citrus, baked apple, hazelnut, toasted almond, and subtle mineral notes, with hints of honey, butter, and chamomile emerging as it develops. On the palate, it is expected to be broad and textured, yet firmly structured, with vibrant acidity balancing the richness of mature Chardonnay. The finish is long and complex, marked by flinty minerality and evolving tertiary notes. Well-stored bottles can continue to evolve gracefully, though this vintage is now likely in its mature drinking window.

Production
The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyards sit on the limestone-rich slopes of the Corton hill in Burgundy, where cooler exposures and complex marl and chalk soils help shape wines of intensity and freshness. Louis Latour is known for careful vineyard selection and traditional harvesting practices, with grapes typically picked by hand at optimal ripeness. Fermentation and élevage are carried out with a focus on preserving the wine’s natural balance, structure, and Grand Cru character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich fish dishes, lobster, scallops, poultry in creamy sauces, roast chicken, and aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Parmesan. Serve at around 10–12°C, and consider opening or decanting gently if the bottle shows significant age, allowing it to express its full aromatic depth.

Producer
Louis Latour is one of Burgundy’s most historic family-owned domaines, with roots dating back to the 18th century. Based in Beaune, the house has built a strong reputation for producing benchmark wines from some of the region’s finest vineyards, especially in the Côte de Beaune. Its long-standing commitment to Grand Cru sites and traditional craftsmanship has made it an important reference point for Burgundy lovers around the world.
