2009 Louis Latour Burgundy - in stock now


The great 2009 Burgundy of Louis Latour

In stock at Forsyth and online


2009 Louis Latour Corton Grancey Grand Cru....$106.99
Tasting note: A ripe, pretty and surprisingly expressive nose features aromas of red berries, warm earth, cassis and a hint of the sauvage that can also be found on the open and already accessible flavors that possess fine complexity on the long and mildly austere finish. This should age and improve over the next 12 to 15 years.
Rated 91/100 Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet Champgain...$59.99
"Tasting Note: Pale yellow and offering up beautiful harmony between white fruit, young almond, vanilla and honey. The mouth is fat and complex revealing a fine and elegant wine." -- Louis Latour Winery




2009 Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet Folatieres 1er Cru....$72.99
Tasting note: Despite the presence of a bit of unabsorbed sulfur the nose remains quite expressive and agreeably fresh with intense citrus, spiced pear and stone hints serving as an elegant introduction to the delicious, delineated and racy medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with good cut and a real sense of underlying tension on the balanced finish. This is a lovely and harmonious effort.
Rated 92/100 Burghound

2009 Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet....$45.99

Tasting note: A very light touch of reduction diminishes only slightly the appeal of the detailed and quite stylish nose of acacia blossom and white orchard fruit aromas. There is good vibrancy and a hint of minerality on the delicious, round and satisfying flavors that possess good punch on the balanced and focused finish. A lovely villages.
Rated 89/100 Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet Truffieres 1er Cru...$64.99
Tasting note: A discreet touch of wood frames pure and airy aromas of well-layered ripe white orchard fruit and acacia blossom aromas that are in keeping with the equally complex middle weight flavors that are textured, racy and detailed before culminating in an intensely mineral-driven, dry and refined finish of admirable length. A classy and exceptionally stylish wine of finesse and balance.
Rated 92/100 Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Chambolle Musigny....$66.99
"Tasting Note:  An intense deep red. The bouquet is aromatic with a perfume of red fruits, blackberry and liquorice accompanied with smokey undertones. Lovely structure, fruity with marked tannins. This lingers on the palate making this, hands down, a very handsome wine. Tasted November 2010" -- Louis Latour Winery

2009 Louis Latour Volnay En Chevret 1er Cru....$45.99

Tasting note: A high-toned nose of fresh and airy red pinot fruit liberally cut with mineral notes that continue onto the rich, intense and vibrant flavors that are blessed with good dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the attractively long finish. This is very Volnay in character and should drink well relatively early. -- Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Meursault Chateau de Blagny 1er Cru...$59.99
Tasting note: A relatively reserved nose featured notes of lemon rind, acacia blossom and a hint of wet stone that carries over to the rich and round yet nicely detailed and energetic flavors that possess good underlying tension on the attractively lemony finish. I like the balance and delivery as this is light on the palate but not banal.
Rated 91/100 Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Meursault AC...$39.99

"Tasting Note: A fine and balanced wine which reveals floral aromas along with hints of fresh almonds. It is best to wait 2-3 more years before enjoying this wine" - Louis Latour Winery

2009 Louis Latour Meursault 1er Cru...$59.99

"Tasting Note: An elegant, well- balanced and full wine. The bouquet is redolent of citrus, honey and a touch of oak. Long-lasting finish" -- Louis Latour Winery
2009 Louis Latour Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru...$72.99
Tasting note: This offers a small step up in aromatic elegance with subtly, and attractively, spiced notes of citrus and, somewhat curiously, sauvignon blanc that merge seamlessly into rich, round and quite generous medium-bodied flavors that brim with an profusion of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine on the delicious and mouth coating finish.
Rated 90/100 Burghound


2009 Louis Latour Nuits St. Georges AC...$54.99
"Tasting Note: Purple with delicious aromas of red fruits and walnuts. Elegant and rounded, long-lasting on the finish with liquorice notes, this is already a very attractive wine. Tasted November 2010" -- Louis Latour Winery


2009 Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru...$59.99
Tasting note: Here too there is a slight touch of reduction though again not really enough to detract from the appeal of the ripe aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, resin and peach that combine with detailed, muscular and intense middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration and excellent finishing persistence. A classic Morgeot that is perhaps a bit finer than usual.
Rated 90/100 Burghound

2009 Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru...$59.99

Tasting note: A restrained and distinctly elegant aromatic profile presents pure, airy and relatively high-toned white flower, stone and dried yellow fruit aromas that are in keeping with the surprisingly rich and full-bodied flavors that retain a fine sense of cut and copious underlying material as there is lovely concentration to the textured, precise and seductive mouth feel, especially on the powerful and long finish. Overall, this is not quite as refined in the mouth as it usually is but it's still an attractive effort.
Rated 91/100 Burghound
