Tasting notes

The Côtes de Nuits Village has a brilliant ruby color with a complex nose of black-currant and clove. Fresh and long on the palate, this wine carries flavors of coffee, grilled hazelnuts, and ripe black-currant.

Description

Our Cote de Nuits-Villages encompasses the villages of Premeaux-Prissey, Comblanchien and Corgoloin just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The vineyards benefit from east-facing hill-slopes which act as a sun-trap to create maximum ripeness in the grapes. The complex soil composition of these villages includes varying proportions of marl and shale clays which produce wines of great character and charm. Maison Louis Latour's Cote de Nuits Villages is an excellent introduction to the wines of the Cote de Nuits.
