Louis Latour Volnay 2019 is a village red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir in Volnay, the Côte de Beaune commune known for elegant, perfumed reds, bottled at 13.5% ABV.
It is a lovely ruby colour, with mocha and licorice on the nose.
Fresh and elegant, it shows cherry and nutmeg on the palate, with a hint of licorice.
2019 was a strong vintage for Latour's reds across the Côte de Beaune.
Volnay is prized for silky, fragrant Pinot Noir, and this village wine is a graceful, approachable Burgundy for roast poultry or a weeknight treat.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
