Historically the owners of this area did not have to pay tax on the land, hence the name 'Vignes Franches' ('free vines'). The Beaune Premier Cru "Vignes Franches" parcel, important part of Domaine Louis Latour, is found mid-slope. The clay soils are scattered with small pebbles which allows for easy drainage of water. Here we find the same opulence as in neighbouring Pommard, as well as an extremely pleasant fruit-forwardness even when young. It is one of the best Premier Cru vineyards of Beaune, producing a wine that is capable of ageing to perfection for a considerable period of time.
Louis Latour Description
The nice deep ruby colour of this Beaune "Vignes Franches" 1er Cru reveals liquorice and morello cherry aromas on the nose. The aromas are full and fresh on the palate with silky tannins of mocha, clove and cherry to finish on a beautiful length.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Will you be able to resist this Beaune 1er Cru? Charming and delicate with fine black-cherry and floral aromas, this is a very elegant and sensual wine that wraps you around its little finger. Long finish that’s dry and silky. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Hints of tar and kindling offset bursts of bright, sun-drenched blackberry and cherry flavors in this wine. Vibrant and penetrating in fruit yet braced by fine, firm tannins, it's an elegantly structured, weighty sip best approached from 2025 through 2035.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This supple, fluid red's main themes are graphite and cherry flavors, along with flashes of licorice and spice. Firm and vibrant, this persists on the spicy, incense-tinged aftertaste.
