This lot contains four bottles of 1998 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Louis Latour, picked from one of Burgundy's most celebrated hillside vineyards.
Light golden. A touch of heather honey, malty, almost a hint of premox, which tends to get lost in the glass, apple, some herbal candy, liquorice, with aeration also peach, and finally an almost truffle-like aroma. Silky attack, firm acidity, buttery smoothness in the midpalate, substantial in the transition to the finish, a mineral firm foundation. It is a stout and robust vintage type. In complexity and length, however, it is only medium-weight.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
