Pretty deep . Quite earthy , blueberry , blackcurrant , spicy cassis . Good volume , sweet fruit , cassis , spicy blueberry . Ok acidity , quite grippy but ripe tannins . Ok length . Still quite young, will benefit for more time in the cellar . From now and over the next 10 years or so . A good example from this chateau. — 3 months ago

All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. Medium pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits with a slight nutty floral character. On the palate flavors of peach and melon with lemon citrus and savory notes. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, toasty oak and minerality. Nice! — 4 months ago
You know you’re drinking Meursault from the first sip with the chalky minerality and saline. The body is round, thick & waxy. Green apple w/ plenty of skin, lime zest, lemon, tropical melons, grapefruit & white stone fruits. Some honey notes, crumbled chalk, sea fossils, sea spray, limestone marl, mid white spice, honey notes, white field of spring flowers with greens, round, rainfall acidity and a round, lush, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes falling on minerality, excellent white spice and soft used barrel notes.
Another point or two with cellaring. — 3 months ago

De halve fles Château Les Forts de Latour 2014 toont een diepe robijnrode kleur en biedt een complexe neus van zwarte bessen, cederhout en een vleugje truffel.
In de mond is hij zijdezacht, met rijpe tannines en een prachtige balans tussen kracht en elegantie.
Ik proef iets van zwarte kersen, grafiet en kruiden die leiden naar een lange, verfijnde afdronk. Een klassieke Pauillac met veel diepgang en potentieel voor verdere rijping. — 11 days ago
