Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 2023 0.375L Côte de Beaune, France
Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 2023 0.375L is a half-bottle of red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir from the northern Côte de Beaune. The wine comes from Aloxe-Corton, the village at the foot of the famous Corton hill where the Latour family has been based for centuries. This 2023 combines black cherry, red fruit, savory depth and velvety tannins in a powerful yet elegant village wine with 6–8 years of aging potential.
Vineyards and region
Aloxe-Corton is located on a stony slope at the foot of the Corton hill.
• Location and origin: Aloxe-Corton is located in the north of the Côte de Beaune. The village was given the name Corton in 1862, referring to the famous Corton climat.
• Domaine: The vineyards of Domaine Louis Latour are located around the village of Aloxe-Corton. This wine is therefore strongly connected to the historical core of the house.
• Soil: The vines grow on limestone, alluvial sand, and gravel. This combination ensures good drainage and helps Pinot Noir gain structure, tension, and refinement.
• Vineyard and harvest: The vines are on average 30 years old, and the yield is around 40 hl per hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand.
Grape composition
This red Burgundy is made entirely from Pinot Noir.
• 100% Pinot Noir – Aloxe-Corton: Pinot Noir gives this wine its red fruit, black cherry, fine tannins, and elegant structure. In Aloxe-Corton, the grape gains more power and depth due to the stony location at the foot of the Corton hill.
Vinification and aging
The vinification is classic for a serious red Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune.
• Fermentation: The wine is traditionally fermented in open vats. This method helps to extract color, fruit, tannins, and structure from the Pinot Noir grapes.
• Aging: The wine ages for 10–12 months in French oak barrels from Louis Latour's own cooperage, 15% of which is new wood. The barrels are medium toasted, giving the wine a subtle oak influence without losing its fruit.
• Aging potential: Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 2023 can be aged for 6–8 years. With bottle aging, the tannins soften, and the notes of cherry, red fruit, and savory depth further integrate.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Louis Latour Aloxe-Corton 2023 has a dark color with garnet red nuances. The aroma shows black fruit, red fruit, sour cherry, and a savory undertone. The taste is ample and fresh, with silky tannins, crisp cherry, and a long, clear finish.
• Serving temperature: Serve this Aloxe-Corton at 14–15 °C, so that the fruit, fresh structure, and tannins remain beautifully balanced.
• Dishes: Delicious with coq au vin, pan-fried steak, red meat, and aged cheeses.
