LOUIS LATOUR (DOMAINE) CUVEE HERITIERS LATOUR CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU 2014 750ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Domaine Louis Latour Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" is produced by Maison Louis Latour, a renowned family-owned estate in Burgundy, France. This wine hails from the prestigious Chambertin Grand Cru appellation in the Côte de Nuits, known for crafting some of the world’s finest Pinot Noir wines. The "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" is a special bottling from a 0.81-hectare parcel acquired by the Latour family in the late 19th century, passed down through generations, which gives the cuvée its name. The 2014 growing season in Burgundy was a rollercoaster. A warm, dry spring led to early bud break and successful flowering, but June brought hail in some areas (though Chambertin was less affected).

TASTING NOTE:

The 2014 Domaine Louis Latour Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" is a refined, age-worthy Pinot Noir that balances intensity with elegance, making it a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts. Brilliant ruby-red with a vivid intensity. Elegant and intense, with vibrant red and black fruit (griotte cherry, cassis, raspberry), complemented by spice (licorice, nutmeg, moka), floral notes (violets), and a mineral thread. Oak influence adds subtle toast and vanilla. Medium-to-full-bodied, with a muscular entry and a keen acidity that keeps it fresh. It features ripe, well-integrated tannins, a deep core of cherry and underbrush flavors, and a powerful, structured finish with superb depth and minerality. Critics note its “kingly” length and Grand Cru authority. Drinking well now with decanting, it’s built to evolve through 2035–2045, gaining complexity and silkiness.
