The 2019 Louis Latour Marsannay Rouge shows excellent and intricate nuances. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of red and black fruits. Enjoy it with garlic and rosemary-infused roast leg of lamb.

Winemaker Notes

The Marsannay is sturdy and robust due to the rich iron-based soil. The wine has an intense bouquet of red fruit and a silky palate with a distinct gamey character and great tannic appeal.

Tasting Notes

Bright in colour with lovely garnet glints, our Marsannay Rouge 2019 offers delicious aromas of black fruits such as blueberry, cherry, and cassis , along with peppery notes. The palate is fresh with aromas of cherry, wild raspberry with subtle smoky hints. The tannins linger nicely on the finish.

Food Pairing: Roasted duck - "coq au vin" - lamb stew- mature cheeses.

Vineyard Notes

Marsannay is the village which marks the northern gateway to the Côte d'Or when leaving Dijon, the capital of Burgundy and home to the Ducs de Bourgogne. This village marks the beginning of the Route des Grands Crus which follows the N6 highway through the Côte d'Or. Wines from Marsannay are generally lively and robust; characteristics that come from the rich iron soil. Marsannay received its Appellation Contrôlée in 1987 in recognition of its consistently high quality wine.
