Louis Latour Montagny 1er cru la Grande Roche 2002

Dec 10, 2005 4 Replies

I have a chance to pick this up at a pretty reasonable price (~US$13). Since my experience with Burgundy is limited, is this wine of interest, even at this price?



Thanks, Dean

1ere cru at 13USD is always worth a try.

Appelation Montagny is a part of Cote Chalonnaise, southern part of Burgundy, less famous than Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune. As a result 1er crus from this part of Burgundy are much cheaper then say

1er crus from Meursault or Puligny-M>I have a chance to pick this up at a pretty reasonable price (~US$13).

And in Montagny there are still a lot of them though the rule which permitted a claim to that status based only on alcohol levels has been changed. Still the shipper is of reasonable reputation, there was some very good white Burgundy and maconnais made in 2002 and the price is hardly excessive — why not give it a go and let us know what you think? Good Montagny can be an interesting bottle for the money — you may well be lucky - and far from becoming bankrupt in making your luck.

Cheers and good hunting
