Maison Louis Latour - Pinot Noir
Producer: Maison Louis Latour
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2007
Region: Bourgogne, France
Price: ~ $15 Perhaps the big brother of the Domaine de Valmoissine? But this pinot is classified under the AOC system of Bourgogne. It too has smokey clarity with a burgundy colour. The bouquet is also similar consisting of black cherries but seems a bit more robust with dark berries, slight oak and vanilla. The tasting was also similar but again slightly more robust. Dark cherries, light spice, vanilla and oak with a medium body and an easy dry finish. Really interesting to taste this one after the Domaine de Valmoissine. I mentioned earlier that the Domaine de Valmoissine could stand to be "turned up" a bit—this pinot from Bourgogne is it. I just saw the movie Zombieland; an excellent addition to the zombie genre. But let's remember that guns are great but reloading is a bitch and you eventually run out of bullets. The best weapon is still—and this is my personal opinion—a light but strong aluminum baseball bat with a sweat resistant grip. No need for ammo and works well in close combat situations which you would almost always find yourself in. Keep that in mind the next time you're confronted with a zombie(s)... J PS: I know, I forgot to take a picture of the bottle before sending it for recycling... LAY OFF!! So here's the label from the ol' Google Images...
