Cellar/Tasting Notes
Winemaker's Notes: "A refined wine, well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour and a great aromatic palette: honey, linden flower ("tilleul"), hazelnut butter, sometimes even chamomile or hawthorn. On the palate, a silky roundness. Long on the aftertaste, with flavours of yellow..

Joseph Drouhin Pre-Arrival sale: The village wines will arrive in June 2013 and the Premier and Grand Cru wines will arrive by the end of October 2013.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A restrained to the point of almost being mute nose reluctantly offers notes of green fruit and mineral reduction that precede broad-shouldered, robust and imposingly concentrated flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract, all wrapped in a terrifically long, intense and deep..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This has a little more of a hard edge to it, in the form of oak tannins. Yet the core is rich and creamy, with plenty of apple, peach, citrus and spice flavors. Has great length. Just needs some time."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2011 Nuits Saint Georges produces a deeply colored powerful, full bodied wine of intense colour. It develops ripe, robust fruit flavors and nuances of oak in the bouquet. This rich elegant wine will pair beautifully with red wine sauces, marinated or roasted game and medium tasting cheeses.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"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."
