LOUIS LATOUR, 1999

CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE

"This sumptuous wine has an intense golden color with elegant amber highlights. A multi-dimensional wine, characterized by its abundance of tropical and exotic fruits. The Corton Charlemagne 1999 is rich, and its complexity is enhanced by notes of vanilla and a strong toasty character. Its elegance is restrained for now, but it will develop over the years." - Maison Louis Latour
