2007 Maison Louis Latour, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 91

Things couldn’t be any more different than with the 2007 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne, a wine of almost brutal power and size that is still basking in a heavy layer of toasty, buttery oak. Hopefully, the oak will get reined in with age so that the wine will evolve more beautifully. At this moment, however, the wine is powerful and lush, making for a wonderful match with the choucroute, and standing up well to the various meats and sausages accompanying the sauerkraut.
