Louis Latour Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018


Louis Latour Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018 (SKU69914, $32.19 tax included)
One of my panellist gave me this wine to try during the COVID 19 stay home period. I was a little reluctant since this just a entry level Burgundy wine. I remembered that most Burgundy red wines were made from the Pinot Noir grape, so why did they have to put down "Bourgogne" and "Pinot Noir" on the label. I tasted it with some home-cooked Chinese meals on three consecutive nights. The nose was fruity, so not the typical higher end Burgundy wine with the strawberry nose. The palate was also not as dry as the typical Burgundy. It reminded me more of the American Oregon or California Pinot Noir where there was a lot of fruit and fuller body. However it paired well with Chinese food and baked chicken. It tasted well even on the third night, so it showed that there was some structure to the wine. It is on sale for $2 off now at the LDB stores with lots of stock.
