Clos de la Vigne au Saint is a very old vineyard; the earliest known record of its existence is in 1375 when it is mentioned in the records of the Chapter of Saulieu. The Latour family have a long connection with this vineyard which began in 1731 when Florent Latour's ancestor owned a section of the vineyard. Since then, it has remained in family hands, passing from generation to generation. The vineyard has perfect southerly exposure on the Corton hill lying on a bedrock outcrop towards the bottom of the slope. The soil is a rusty red color and rich in marl, which gives the wines distinct aromas. This wine possesses the elegance that we expect from a Cote d'Or Grand Cru and will age particularly well.

All the darkness and danger of Corton are married to a stunning mineral freshness that's totally uplifting. Great Amarena cherry fruit, fruit that you want to bathe in. The way the fine tannins and acidity interlock is fabulous, and for all the ripeness of the vintage the finish is super-straight and energetic. From the first vineyard the Latour family acquired in 1738. Limited production. Drink or hold.

There's fine purity to the juicy, ripe cherry, raspberry, rose and rich earth aromas and flavors of this red. An underlying mineral component adds depth and dimension as this builds to the long, complex aftertaste. Harmony and elegance are its hallmarks, with a silky texture and excellent length.
