Cote de Nuits Villages

The Côte de Nuits-Villages encompasses the villages of Premeaux-Prissey, Comblanchien and Corgoloin just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The vineyards benefit from east-facing hill-slopes which act as a sun-trap to create maximum ripeness in the grapes. The complex soil composition of these villages includes varying proportions of marl and shale clays which produce wines of great character and charm. Maison Louis Latour's Côte de Nuits Villages is an excellent introduction to the wines of the Côte de Nuits.
This wine has an intense garnet-red colour. It offers lots of freshness and fruit including raspberries and blackberries with hints of chocolate. On the palate it is ample and open with a blackcurranty finish. A good length in the mouth.
