Louis Latour Santenay Red Burgundy. Structured Pinot Noir with notes of cherry and forest floor. Ideal pairing for Beef Casserole. Luxury Côte de Beaune wine. :

 

Discover the structured elegance of Louis Latour's Santenay Red Wine, a superb Pinot Noir from the southern reaches of the Côte de Beaune. This wine is famed for its robust body, often described as possessing 'the soul of Volnay and the body of Pommard'-a true testament to its complexity.

Tasting Notes & Character

The Santenay presents a brilliant ruby colour. The sophisticated nose offers a bouquet of delicate red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by tertiary notes of forest floor, mocha, and liquorice. The palate is round and supple, framed by fine, elegant tannins. It is remarkably well-structured for a Village appellation, leading to a long finish with black fruit persistence and excellent freshness.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve this classic Red Burgundy at 14-15°C. It is perfectly suited for comforting, rich, and savoury UK fare:

• Hearty Dishes: Beef Casserole, Game Pie, Glazed Duck or Goose.
• Classic French: Terrine de Lapin, Beef in a wine sauce.
• Cheese Course: Mature Soft Cheeses (Pont-l'Évêque, Brie), Cîteaux.

While delicious now, this Santenay has a cellaring potential of 3-5 years, allowing its profile to evolve into richer, more truffly notes.
