Wine Enthusiast über: Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru

-- Wine Enthusiast: This is one of Louis Latour's flagship reds, a powerful wine, with its dense, solid fruits, big tannins and concentration. Those black plum juices are building up behind a firm layer of dryness. Wait until 2012 before even considering drinking. 93/100

Wine Spectator über: Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru

-- Wine Spectator: A rich, sumptuous red, with a velvety texture and cherry compote and spice notes. It has a sweetness at its center, but lively acidity and firm tannins too. Good lingering finish. Approachable now, but will get better. 92/100

Weingut über: Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru

-- Weingut: 'Grancey' was the name of the last owners of the chateau situated on the road of Corton, before the Latour family bought it in 1891. This wine, produced by Maison Louis Latour, is unique and exclusive. It is a blend of four areas of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrières, Grèves and Clos du Roi, the proportions of which vary depending on the vintage. The average age of the vines is over 40 years. After aging individually, only the best barrels are assembled to create the Château Corton Grancey. It is a wine that is produced only if the grapes are of a perfect maturity, vintages judged inferior are systematically declassified. The Corton Grancey 2005 offers a rich bouquet of mineral notes (chalk, earth), spices and ripe fruit (black cherry). The wine is well-balanced, supple and round on the palate. The finish is long and firm which is typical of a great Corton.
