2019 Pinot Noir, Domaine de Valmoissine, Louis Latour
2019 Pinot Noir, Domaine de Valmoissine, Louis Latour
We recently tasted a bottle of possibly the bargain of the year: Burgundian master Louis Latours southern French red, Domaine de Valmoissine, and placed an order for the new 2019 vintage. The shipment is on route from France, currently in Portsmouth clearing customs. Secure your case at under £13 a bottle, there surely is no better value to be had for the pinot noir lover.
Unlike most of Latours wines, the fruit used here comes from the beautiful southern Var region. Enjoying days on end of Provençal sunshine, Domaine de Valmoissines elevated location 500 meters above sea level means that despite the sun, it also still enjoys cool nights too, allowing it to keep its freshness and acidity while still ripening to an enviable level, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and fruity wine.
Another advantage of being so far south is that at Valmoissine they dont have to worry about hail and frosts that can often decimate Burgundian harvests, and vintage variation is much less of a concern, hence the 2019, like its predecessors, excels and means you wont have to look any further for your next bottle of fabulous value pinot.
Tasting notes:
Ripe red fruits jump from the glass enticing you to a bright cherry-led palate which is round and silky smooth. A delicious pinot with a southern French lift. Terrific value.
Critic review:
"The vineyards are fairly high here so the heat of the day is tempered by the cool of the night leading to a delightfully accessible, deliciously fresh, raspberry-rich, tannin-light Pinot."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
