2020 Louis Latour Vignes Franches 750ml

Experience the opulent heritage of the Côte de Beaune with the 2020 Louis Latour Beaune 1er Cru "Vignes Franches" 750ml at VS Liquor. The name "Vignes Franches" (meaning "free vines") refers to a historical era when the owners of this specific mid-slope parcel were exempt from land taxes, a testament to the vineyard's long-standing prestige. Located on the southern side of the Beaune escarpment near the border of Pommard, this vineyard is composed of clay and limestone soils enriched with fine gravel. The 2020 vintage is hailed as a modern classic for Burgundy—a warm, dry season that produced wines of extraordinary concentration and "Grand Cru" quality. Aged for 10 to 12 months in French oak from the estate's own cooperage, this 100% Pinot Noir combines the structural power of its Pommard neighbors with the elegant, perfumed finesse for which Beaune is famous.

Whether you are seeking a premier gift for a Burgundy collector or a high-scoring masterpiece (97 Points, James Suckling; 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast; 92 Points, Wine Spectator) to pair with beef bourguignon, duck breast with cherry reduction, or a ripe Camembert, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 13.5% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and expansive, offering aromas of amarena cherry, roasted coffee, and liquorice, layered with notes of dark chocolate, rose petals, and a hint of earthy mocha. On the palate, it is full-bodied and seamless, delivering a concentrated core of black and red fruits framed by firm, silky tannins and a long, vibrant finish that showcases the impressive energy of the 2020 vintage.
