Wine has been made in the Bourgogne for nearly two millennia, and Pinot Noir has been made here since the twelfth century. Pinot’s a really sensitive grape – it reflects the tiniest of variations in the soil or exposure – and it really loves the limestone soils of Burgundy. Suffice to say, over the centuries, Pinot and the Bourgogne have become so intertwined, from here it’s as close to perfect as the wine can get. Louis Latour are similarly a Burgundian institution – the label to look to for reliably high-quality wines. This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a case in point. Bright. Fresh. Savoury. It’s full of those red cherry, raspberry flavours which are textbook Pinot. And because it’s not from a designated appellation, it’s a complete steal for the quality. With a rack of lamb, it’ll sing.
