It is not an apt comparison. I have tasted Louis Latour extensively over a course of many vintages. I am actually basing my view on direct experience of the wines.

Levi,
The Corton Grancey is the only bottle I've had from Latour other than a couple thrown in as starter wines here and there (I recall a pretty decent St Aubin).
I'm not trying to defend their overall portfolio, but you do sound as though you have an axe to grind.

Claude, thank you. I'm entirely fed up with people having opinions about wine in the same way as they have opinions about the football teams they support, and you are one of the few authorities on the subject who don't make me feel as though I were insane.

Yes, Levi, but you are taking your opinion seriously, which is tiresome.

All I can say is that I had a '90 Latour Corton Grancey with Jamie Goode a while back that was delicious.

An offhand joke was debated point by point by an interlocutor. I responded. That's all it is. If you want to see who started the seriousness, just scroll up the page. It wasn't me.

My only axe to grind is that it is pretty silly to even have this conversation, because everyone who has tried through the wines knows what a sea of mediocrity awaits.
Of course there are exceptions. Rules, exceptions, and such.

A recent 96 Corton Charlemagne was really stunning recently, though, really proper stuff.
Good to hear.

At his home. Bottle provided by a MW who joined us for dinner.

David, you are an incredible and insatiable name dropper.
I've had some decent Latour wines before, 1980's, and met the charming owner at a tasting about 20 years ago.
Doesn't the French love for him come from people (growers) with long memories of his purchasing much of their juice during previous downturns, thus keeping them grapegrowers?
