The 2015 Chevalier Montrachet les Demoiselles Grand Cru from Louis Latour is the best of the house's whites this year, opening in the glass with notes of buttered apples, hazelnut cream and struck match. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, notably fresher and more cohesive than the other whites in the portfolio, with a good line of acidity despite just a touch of alcoholic warmth. Ultimately, however, this is rather pedestrian by the standards of this great grand cru.
About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
