Louis Latour Santenay La Comme 1er Cru 2023 (75cl)

A Pinot Noir from the Premier Cru vineyard La Comme in Santenay, Côte de Beaune, made by Maison Louis Latour. The south-east-facing plot continues the Combe of Saint-Aubin; its vines average 25 years old on clay and limestone and are hand-picked. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by full malolactic fermentation and 8 to 10 months in medium-toasted French oak barrels from the house's own cooperage. The 2023 shows an intense ruby colour with hints of raspberry on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with hints of pepper and a lovely freshness, and a very long finish. Serve at 15–17°C with rabbit terrine, beef in wine sauce, foie gras with apples, or Brie. Can be kept for 5 to 7 years.
