Château Latour 2017
Est. delivery in late summer, 2026 Château Latour needs no introduction. This is Pauillac royalty, the most powerful and long-lived of the first growths, from vines planted on deep Günzian gravel that have been making wine for centuries. The 2017 comes from a vintage that started wet but finished gloriously, giving wines of surprising concentration and classical structure. We find this vintage typically Latour in its aristocratic restraint and iron backbone, but with more accessible fruit than the famously austere 2010 or 2016. The blend is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, plus small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It's a wine that whispers rather than shouts, but what it's saying will echo for decades. Best cellared until 2030, drinking beautifully until 2055.
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 'Lavaux Saint Jacques', Domaine Duroché 2019
"Deep red fruit and warm baked spices. Muscular tannins and a powerful core, showing great length and promise with aging." Our note Having been propelled in to the very front ranks of Burgundy’s most sought-after growers, for all Pierre remains as diffident and charming as ever. With ever increasing global demand for allocations, we never get as much of his Grands Crus as we’d like but the quality and value across the range is always exciting and we are delighted to have a good supply of Pierre’s various expressions of Gevrey-Chambertin.
