The village of Aloxe-Corton is located in the north of Côte de Beaune on a stony hillside at the foot of the hill of Corton. It was in 1862 that the name of the climat Corton was added to the village name Aloxe. The vineyards of Domaine Louis Latour surround this famous village and yield a classic Aloxe-Corton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAGING\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 to 12 months ageing in oak barrels, 15% new\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARRELS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLouis Latour cooperage, French oak, medium toasted\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"titreColRight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith a beautiful ruby colour, our Aloxe-Corton 2019 \"Domaine Latour\" expresses a nose with aromas of black cherry and undergrowth.

Understanding and interpreting the geological complexity of each parcel is indispensable, and it is for this reason that we regularly undertake soil analysis of entire slices of earth in order to study the interaction between the terroir and our wines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf a noble terroir is undoubtedly one of the essential elements in the production of a great wine, the work of our highly qualified team is also crucial and highly valuable. Extreme rigour and meticulous care are necessary when applying the correct gestures and techniques, notably when pruning and leaf thinning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHealthy soil is also primordial for the development of the vines, which is why Maison Louis Latour uses specific organic techniques to combat vine pests and diseases. These organic substances also reduce the need for pesticides. Maison Louis Latour also makes its own compost (around 70 tonnes) from vine pruning wood and grape skins - a by-product of pressing - thus eliminating the use of chemical fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraditional viticultural methods have been perpetuated by Maison Louis Latour. Young vines on steep slopes -making access difficult for machines - are ploughed using horses. Working in this way avoids compacting the earth and allows the vine root systems to plunge deeply into the soil to better regulate their water intake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379958743253,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_SGWS307","price":150.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/TSproductimagecopy_15e49daf-039d-456f-af80-58e12604576f.png?v=1744808744","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/louis-latour-aloxe-corton-le-chaillots-2019","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
