The star of Louis Latour’s 2002 portfolio is the Montrachet. Harvested at 14.2% natural potential alcohol, it bursts from the glass with resin-laced, spicy minerals and anise. Thick, rich, lush, and medium to full-bodied, this is a dense, oily-textured wine. Concentrated layers of creamed minerals are intermingled with flowers, white peaches, and pears in this gorgeously deep offering. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016.
Maison Louis Latour has a different importer in each state.
