Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru has an intense red ruby hue and offers a cherry and licorice nose. These aromas can also be found in the mouth, along with notes of nutmeg. This wine is full bodied and very delicate. The tannins are well integrated and the finish is long and softly oaky.
Professional Ratings
97 James Suckling
Really deep nose of forest berries and violets. Then comes the very focused and amazingly velvety palate. The super-fine tannins and healthy acidity give this an extremely elegant profile, everything flowing effortlessly in the direction of nirvana.
95 Wine Spectator
A suave style, this red delivers depth and complexity, with aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, plum and earth framed by toasty oak. Silky yet dense, with well-integrated tannins. The finish evokes dark fruit, earth and mineral notes. Best from 2025 through 2045.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Domaine Louis Latour Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint Grand Cru is alluring and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of sweet spices, aromatic flowers, and ripe blackberries. Pair it with a grilled ribeye and Époisses. (Tasted: May 10, 2023, San Rafael, CA)
93 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2020 Corton Clos de la Vigne Au Saint Grand Cru bursts with aromas of cherries, dark berries, musk, spices and vine smoke. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s rich and layered, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. This is the more sensual and suave of these two Corton bottlings.
93 Wine Enthusiast
Dark plums, thyme, and earthy tones create a luscious nose. The palate is inviting, offering concentrated black cherries and bramble, framed by cardamom, warming spices, and a hint of green peppercorn. Silky and fruit-forward, this wine is beautifully balanced, with no trace of bitterness on the finish.
