Batard Montrachet Louis Latour 1999 1999 750ml

The Grand Cru vineyard of Bâtard-Montrachet lies between the picturesque villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, home to the world’s greatest white wines. Only a small country lane separates this 12.37 hectare vineyard from the great Montrachet itself. Its gentle easterly-facing slope is made up of a deep, rich, gravelly soil which has a limestone base, world renowned for the production of high quality Chardonnay fruit.After traditional fermentation in oak casks, the wine is then aged for 12 months in Domaine Latour’s own cellars. As a result this is a highly complex wine with a multiplicity of flavours ranging from a rich buttery character to a subtle hint of grilled almonds. It has a concentrated creamy fruit character and a lingering finish. It is both powerful and restrained and has the ability to age for over 15 years. Wine FRENCH
