🏰 The 1995 Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru, particularly the Château Corton Grancey, is a distinguished red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir. The 1995 vintage was noted for its "dazzling colour" and was considered "still very young on the nose and the palate, nicely balanced but will benefit from a few years' aging" when tasted in 2018. [10] Corton is unique as the Côte de Beaune's only red Grand Cru appellation. [3, 5, 17] This wine typically presents an intense ruby color. The nose offers attractive spicy berry notes, full, soft raspberry fruit, and a deep, creamy background of sweet oak. [8] Aromas of cassis and liquorice emerge, with fine earthy nuances and sophisticated gamy qualities. [8, 16] On the palate, it is ample and powerful, with a lovely texture, lightly chewy fruit, fine tannins, and a slightly minty aftertaste. [8, 16] Notes of cherry, strawberry, red fruit, earthy, leather, mushroom, oak, vanilla, and tobacco are also common. [16] 【 Château Corton Grancey is a unique and exclusive blend of five specific Grand Cru sites on the hill of Corton, with only the best barrels assembled, making it a flagship red for Louis Latour. 】 [1, 25] Given its age, this 1995 vintage will show a beautiful evolution of aromas and flavors. Expect a harmonious blend of fruit and tertiary notes like dried flowers, forest floor, and subtle spice. The tannins will be soft and integrated. Handle the bottle gently to avoid disturbing any sediment. Decant carefully for about 30-60 minutes to allow it to open up and separate from sediment. Serve at 16-17°C. [1, 25, 41] 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs superbly with wild boar, roasted beef, roasted quail, and duck "à l'orange." [1, 25] It's also an excellent match for mature cheeses, duck, goose, game birds, veal, and venison. [8, 16] 🥂 This wine is ideal for a significant anniversary, a celebratory dinner, or a special gathering where a mature, complex, and prestigious Burgundy red will be appreciated. Its proven aging potential makes it a rewarding experience for connoisseurs.
