France – Red – 2006
Region: Burgundy, Beaune
Label: Cuvée Latour
Producer: Louis Latour
Grape: Pinot Noir
Outdoorsy floral aromas of a mountain medow. Medium to full body with a velvety texture. Flavours are suitably complex cherry and strawberry but still somewhat stilted – perhaps could have kept this bottle a while longer. Bought this in France a while ago and it’s been in the cellar so not sure what was paid for it; a quick Google returns a price of US$26.34 which sounds slightly higher than I’d have been happy to pay.
