Winemaker Notes

The Château Corton Grancey 2015 has a deep ruby red color. It has a complex bouquet of blackurrant and liquorice. In the mouth, it is round and ample displaying notes of black fruits, liquorice and chlorophyll with oaky notes. Beautiful lenght with freshness, almost saline.

Pairs well with wild boar, roasted beef, roasted quail, duck “à l’orange”, mature cheeses.

Critical Acclaim

JS96
James Suckling
Incredibly subtle and complex with dried herbs, spices, meat, leaves and dried fruit. Full-bodied, superfine and polished tannins and a fantastic finish. What a fantastic Grancey!

WE95
Wine Enthusiast
This wine from the Corton Grand Cru vineyard is packed with tannins as well as smoky fruit. It is richly structured and firm, yet the fruit is equally powerful, showing bold black fruits struck against bright acidity. The wine will need considerable aging; drink from 2025. 

Cellar Selection
WS94
Wine Spectator
A rich style, sporting cherry, raspberry, spice and earth flavors. Moderate tannins lend support, while the flavors persist on the long finish. Though balanced overall, this tightens up at the end, suggesting that the best is yet to come. Best from 2021 through 2038.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2015 Château Corton-Grancey Grand Cru is one of the Louis Latour portfolio’s highlights this year, wafting from the glass with a lovely nose of plum, black raspberry, licorice and rose petal, framed by some nicely integrated smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and sappy, its ample chassis of fine-grained tannins cloaked in a deep core of vibrant fruit. While this may shut down in the near future, it’s surprisingly accessible—albeit rather primary—right now. This emblematic cuvée is assembled from Latour’s best barrels of Corton-Bressandes, Corton-Clos du Roi, Corton-Perrières and Corton-Grèves.
