Louis Latour Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2011 (13.5%)

A red wine from Maison Louis Latour, the 2011 vintage of Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour". It is 100% Pinot Noir from 30-year-old vines planted in iron-rich, brown limestone soils, hand-harvested and fermented in traditional open oak vats. It was aged for 10 to 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels from Louis Latour's own cooperage. The wine shows a deep, dark ruby colour with incredible aromatic intensity, offering dark cherries and blackcurrants with savory notes of leather, licorice and undergrowth. On the palate it is powerful and full-bodied, with firm, elegant tannins and a persistent, earthy finish with hints of spice and concentrated fruit.
