LOUIS LATOUR Grand Ardeche Chardonnay 2009 75cl Bottle
10 February 2012 TheDrinkShop
Yellow-green in colour, the Ardeche 2007 has a subtle nose of vanilla. On the palate there are soft notes of spice and vanilla. This is a round and powerful wine. Consistency of climate and abundant sunshine in the Ardeche perfectly ripen these bunches of grapes , whilst the drying Mistral wind eliminates any risk of rot. The Grand Ardeche is treated as if it were grown in one of the Grand Cru vineyards of the Cote-d'Or. Fully-ripened grapes are selected and pressed lightly before being aged in oak barrels made at the Latour cooperage in Beaune. The result is a full-bodied wine that is smooth with notes reminiscent of exotic fruits and vanilla spice imparted by the oak.
