| Tasting note |
This wine reveals an intense red color, with flecks of ruby. The nose offers a pleasant bouquet of flavours. Red fruit notes are enriched by fine blackcurrant and blueberry aromas. In the mouth, ample and powerful, this wine expresses an interesting aromatic complexity, coated in soft tannins. Blueberry and coffee aromas still linger and offer an elegant and enjoyable finish.

The Times, Jane MacQuitty, 21st December 2013'...Christmas Day Feast...If there are only a few of you and the milder game such as partridge is on the menu, opt for a juicy burgundy such as Louis Latour's fine 2012 Bourgogne Pinot Noir made from low-yielding 25-year-old vines and brimming with rich, gamey, rose-scented spice. Just the ticket, too, with honey roast ham and cumberland sauce.' Western Daily Press, Ned Halley, 14th December 2013...a classic red burgundy. This is a young, vigorous wine with a pellucid ruby colour and textbook pinot noir aromas of bright fresh cherries and raspberries. The fruit corresponds fully, flooding the tastebuds with vivid juicy flavours clothed in a firm but gentle grip of tannin. It's the perfect red wine with fatty, rich and complicated dishes, in particular turkey with all the trimmings, or Boxing Day cold cuts... Woman & Home, Tim Atkin, March 2014'Burgundy bests... It's easier to find good ''inexpensive'' red Burgundy than white, but this certainly fits the bill. It's light, juicy and fruity, with crunchy pomegranate and red cherry flavours and some appealing raspberry sweetness.' 87/100 points, Decanter, September 2014'Summer berry nose with a palate of good acidity and flavours of cranberry and red cherry. Quite long, with a peppery finish.' Western Mail, Neil Cammies, 9th August 2014'...has lots of purity in the red fruits on the nose, no elaborate oak or fireworks, just a little sweetness on the bouquet. In the mouth the fruit is brisk, with quite lively acidity and a little earthy tone through the mid-palate and finish.' |
