Maison Louis Latour, Bourgogne, Pinot Noir

Medium red, good acidity, good sweetness combined with dark cherry fruit flavours and a noticeable tannic spine. Drinking very well after 7 years with more aging capabilities. A well made and great drinking Bourgogne at a great price point. I have found this wine consistently approachable over the many years I have bought this as a house wine and daily drinker.

2015 vintage

Found this 2015 tucked away in my cellar. I use this wine as an intro to most non pinot red wine drinkers and as a volume wine for my big family drinkers. It has delivered over the many years I have bought this wine. This 2015 is an excellent tasting wine. Medium red in colour, good acidity, good balance between medium tannins and great dark fruit flavours primarily cherry. This has moderate length. An excellent Bourgogne that still has more …

2015 vintage

Great fruity nose, light red colour, light bodied, wonderful flavours of raspberry and light red fruit, tannins mild, good acidity, delightful to drink, not any great length but a very yummy wine at a great price point and has aged well! This has the appearance of a light pinot but this has a great flavour profile .

2015 vintage

Light transparent color. Nice nose. Ripe berry fruit. More towards blackberry, so has a bright aspect to it. Some spice and eventually something kinda musty, but generally a fruit driven nose. Palate gets some of that fruit. Mid-palate a bit hollow. Finish has some acidity/salinity/vegetal notes. Elegant in feel. You get the nice fruit of the vintage and the elegance of Burgundy. You don’t get the earthiness you often get though. https://winediplomats.com/

2015 vintage

Shouldn�t have waited so long. It was no good.

2012 vintage

At best an oak wine with a humburger or a slice of pizza. Little to no varietal character or sense of place. harsh tannins. drying up. thin

2008 vintage

Medium ruby color. Strawberry, spicy aroma. Red fruits flavor. Higher acidity, medium tannins. Short caramel finish.

2012 vintage

Red berries and cherries on the nose and palate, ceder/oak and a hint of smoke. Smooth, medium finish, medium acid.

2015 vintage

PnP. Bright garnet. Lovely ripe a bit simple in a nice way.

2015 vintage

Good value pinot noir for early drinking. Opened and decanted one hour. Colour is light orangey red. The nose reminds me of canned strawberries. Palate is fruity and young, slightly bitter. Medium length. Went well with roast chicken.

2015 vintage

Lots of strawberry on the nose, Jammy, light to taste with a nice finish Tasted after being opened for 2 hours

2015 vintage

This is a light glimpse into the 2015 vintage. While you might think it’s simple with dark cherry the acid and mineral are nice and keep the wine dancing on the tongue while you eat your meal. I think that when you compare a basic Bourgogne from 2005 you can draw parallels. While I wouldn’t be drinking a bunch of village level Wines let alone 1er of GC, this is fine but a bit high in price for what you …

2015 vintage

This wine was light and simple, cherry and higher acid. The finish was clean and did not linger. For us, overpriced for the lack of complexity but pairs well with food.

2015 vintage

Simple straightforward strawberry nose, bordering on confected jam, perhaps strawberry custard. Yes. It does what it’s meant to do and does so effectively.

鴨鍋をしようとなった。東京からコンロ持って帰った。アマゾンからガスも配達された。マーケットで胸肉を。特に高価なものではないここでは。dancyuみると、鴨そばのようにお鍋にするんだな。日本酒ではじめた。流石にあう。さてピノノアールは？軽い果物の甘みが足されて、これまた良い。まったく違うのにどちらも良い。お酒は、柚子胡椒つけると余計良い。ワインは、気が進まずつけなかった。お鍋は、ひときれずつ、ゆで具合を変えながらレア、ミディアムを楽しむのが良い。そしてその違いがよくわかるのはワインの方かな、と思った。お酒はもっと強い味にでもあうようだ。今度は新世界のピノノアールを試してみるか。ピノノアールは高くないと難しい、と先入観あったけど、鴨があれば敷居が低くなるな。鴨だけでなくほかのfeatherも試したくなる。

2015 vintage

Too light for my taste.

2012 vintage

Took 45 min to open up. Light but acid heavy. Not much difference from memory of a beaujolais, prob would have rather drank a beaujolais.

2012 vintage

Flat. Not great. Not again

2015 vintage

Flirting with the anonymous but manages to be Burgundy in the end. A little charm present. Nice red strawberryish fruit and a whisp of smoke. The fruit captures the vintage quality nicely. However, not very interesting, and a little acidic. 87-88

2015 vintage

I did not like this at all. Thin and acidic.

2012 vintage

Fully translucent, red center to orange/clear rim. Very little on the nose: just a faint cherry. None of the typical pinot characteristics. The palate is about as flat as can be. Very little to be detected. No oak or fruit; just mild bitterness. Not much different than watered-down lemonade. This hardly counts as a wine. There's nothing to enjoy. Also nothing to hate. Just not much of anything.

2012 vintage

A rich fruity flavour with undertones of chocolate & liquorice

2012 vintage

Pale ruby. medium-low intensity aroma of strawberry and raspberry and a hit of smoke. Light body, light tannins, medium finish of sour cherry. Score 86. (S.Segard, Reviewed Jan. 15/17)

2015 vintage

Light body, pale crimson with brick tints color. Wild red fruits and flowers aroma. Ripe strawberry and raspberry palate, medium long spicy finish. Light, fresh and easy drinking, simple but well balanced, refreshing acidity, tannic. Best match is grilled poultry, tasted with mushrooms soup. Serve 18� - 24�. Drink now and next couple years.

2012 vintage

Shows some varietal aromas and flavors, but extremely thin and out of balance. Don't bother.

2012 vintage

Fruity and vegetal notes. Good balance and decent complexity.

2012 vintage

There seems to be quite a variance of scores on this one. Certainly not an under 80 point nor over 90 point wine. Mid to upper 80's, It's a decent under $15 everyday wine (at Costco). A bit light with ample acidity. Would be best drunk with food. I think a few years of bottle age will help this wine. Much better than most under $20 California Pinot noir.

2012 vintage

Lighter color. The nose shows fruity but lightweight aromas of cherry, minerals, herbs and a hint of flowers. This is medium light bodied on the palate with decent concentration and ok finesse. The medium length finish features a chalky element and rustic tannins.

2012 vintage

Clean and bright. A typical C�te d'Or Pinot without the drama of Oregon pinots. Played well with the cedar planked salmon.

2012 vintage

Taste like acid water!

2012 vintage

Again not much to say on this. it has some burgness but the acidity is very high. Had low expectations on the quality when it was $15. Very pleased i only bought 2 and they are gone.

2012 vintage

I generally like my wines to taste like something. The nose actually isn't bad, and has some varietal typicity. The palate has some, though not much, cherry fruit, with little palate presence and no finish whatsoever. There is also acidity here, so you can have it with food, but I won't call it a food wine and imply food improves it any. The only reason I'm not rating it lower is that it actually avoid a lot of cheap wine …

2012 vintage

Medium body, Bright crimson color. Elegant red fruits aroma. Cherry, strawberry and may be blueberry on the palate, medium long finish. Light and fresh, complex, well balanced, nice acidity and soft tannins. Food friendly, best match is poultry or semi-hard cheeses. Open half hour in advance. Serve 16º - 22º. Drink now.

2012 vintage

No formal note...If your looking for something burgundian at the $15 range that can just be PNP without thinking of it, this works.

2012 vintage

Slightly more tannin and acidity than the 2011 of the same wine. Could improve potentially, but no need to wait. A wine for people that like to drink wine as a part of their meal. Not a stand-alone blockbuster by any stretch.

2012 vintage

I haven't had many burgundies, so this was an interesting change of pace from American pinots. Some red fruit on the nose, maybe sour cherries. Relatively high acid as to what I was expecting, and a little tannic, so it would be interesting to see what another year on the shelf would do. A big hit of grass and hay in the flavor with an astringent aftertaste. Not very pleasant, but undeniably unique. It should open up a bit, so …

2012 vintage

Stone fruits, cherry, a little leather. Good; very nice with food (beef stew).

2012 vintage

Stone fruit minerality with a light bodied sour cherry, mossy herbal thing going on. Short finish - acidic...still waiting for Pinot's to really grab me. Had to be patient with this one. Day 2 - I let it decant (a no-no with this one apparently) and found some leather. Not bad, no problems - but not exactly my favourite.

2012 vintage

A great cooking wine. You can almost taste the feet of the Frenchmen

2012 vintage

A good cooking wine

2012 vintage

@D Acres. Basic red fruit with Pinot structure. A bit lean and not very aromatic. Nice with food though

2012 vintage

Deep ruby. An attractive bouquet of red cherry, raspberry and a little red plum. Some gentle spice. Reflecting the vintage, juicy, full and succulent on palate. Good ripe red berry fruit. Fairly linear and not complex or multi-layered but fine for this level. Below medium weight. Quite approachable and fairly soft and friendly. Adequate acidity. A good everyday drinking Burgundy. Drink now or optimally in the next 6-8 years (and will probably live longer).

2012 vintage

Light red. Nose has good but faint berry fruit. It does not follow through on the palate where it has sweetish but indistinct fruit and finish is thin and grippy.

2012 vintage

Nice but underwhelming Pinot. Has the typical characteristics but is lacking in concentration and character. Nothing remarkable about the wine.

2012 vintage

I usually run when I see the Latour label (ok, I'm guilty of buying the cheap ones). This one was a gift, and I dreaded opening it, but I was surprised - I liked it. A little fruitier than your typical Burgundy, but it was pleasant, smooth, short finish, went well with food. A decent table wine.

2012 vintage

Very nice Pinot Noir. Enjoyed it with herb roasted chicken and grilled tuna.

2012 vintage

Exactly the sort of fruity, light Pinot I like to drink on a Friday evening. It's not trying to be a NZ or a U.S. Pinot and why should it? It's a simple, well made Burgundy Pinot. Soft, light, fruity with cherries and raspberries as well a savoury touch, with a little sourness on the finish. It tastes of "my glass is already empty, top it up please" and carry on the conversation.

2012 vintage

Wonderful Burgundy for this price point. Rich garnet color. Nose: wet earth, cherry. Mouth: sour cherry, lingering finish with bite.

2012 vintage

Simple, pleasant and nice enough.

2012 vintage

Had this couple years ago when it's $15. Not only the price, but also the memory was more pleasant. Pale light ruby color, almost thought this as a claret or dark color rose. Smell was tight, red fruits and very earthy. Dry, body was medium to medium plus, high acidity, low, unripe tannin, earthy on a short finish. Don't like it all on first day. But it improved on second day, after air and chilled in fridge.
