Louis Latour Agencies Portfolio Tasting 2022

07 February 2022

Our annual portfolio tasting was held last week, 1st of February 2022, on the Dixie Queen boat, moored on Butler’s Wharf, near Tower Bridge, and overlooking the Tower of London. Over 160 wines, Champagnes and Cognacs were on display, showcasing the best of Louis Latour agencies. This was one of the first in-person tastings for over 2 years, with much excitement amongst the trade, attended by wine journalists and wine trade members alike.

 

From Maison Louis Latour, a range of reds, whites and 2020’s were on offer, with differing prices and styles being showcased from Valmoissine Pinot Noir to the exquisite Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019. The 2020’s featured some finished wines, as well as a handful of unfiltered cask samples, hosted by Anne Charpin, who came from Beaune, France, especially for the event.

 

The Simonnet-Febvre stand was presented by Paul Espitalié and Helen Ryan, both hailing from the Chablis region, presenting their excellent range of cremant’s, Premier and Grand Cru wines. Henry Fessy’s wines followed, showing what some of the famous Beaujolais cru’s have to offer, particularly the Morgon, standing out for its concentrated fruit flavours. Michel Redde’s famous Pouilly-Fumé’s were also present, displaying beautiful fruit purity and minerality.

 

From Vidal-Fleury, Sophie Rath, the export manager made the trip from Lyon, to showcase the excellent range of Rhône wines, from a Côtes du Rhône to a Gigondas, even treating us to the 2013 Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde La Chatillonne!

 

Isonto and Morgenhof represented the South African contingency, showing what the beautiful Cape can offer in style and value. Not far from their table, but taking centre stage, was Banfi, giving us a complete range from Piedmont and Tuscany, hosted by Jgor Marini, making the trip from Italy.

 

In Australia, we had McHenry Hohnen representing the west, in Margaret River, focusing on their single vineyard single varietals. Dissecting the country into Clare Valley, we were lucky to have Adrian Atkinson, UK export manager, showing the stunning range of reds and whites, including the new Masterstroke reds. Just across the Tasman Sea we featured New Zealand’s Pyramid Valley and Smith and Sheth wines, from the delicious and expected Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noirs. There was even an orange wine which created some intrigue, and discussion.

 

Viu Manent represented Chile, showcasing the different microclimates of Colchagua from the Andes, the warmer centre, as well as the new coastal vineyards where the Tiny Trials Chardonnay comes from, new to the UK this year.

 

We finished with our Gosset Champagnes, cleansing the palate with the Extra Brut and Grand NV’s, before approaching our Frapin Cognacs, where we were treated to 7 different styles, including a 30-year-old Millésime 1989.

The portfolio booklet and more information are available, or if you were simply unable to attend, but are still interested in some of our products, please email enquiries@louislatour.co.uk
