Wine Enthusiast, September 2014

Solid and tannic, it perhaps lacks huge weight but shows elegant structure and rounded tannins. The wine is already deliciously fruity, and will charm as it ages. Black fruits are right up front, the tannins a fine...

Wine Spectator, June 2014

An expressive, fluid red, with cherry, raspberry, spice and mineral flavors riding the vibrant structure to a lingering conclusion. The tannins show up on the finish but are buffered by sweet fruit. Best from 2016 through...

The 2011 Domaine Louis Latour Romanee St Vivant Les Quatre Journaux is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically the Romanee St Vivant sub-appellation in Vosne Romanee within the Cote de Nuits. This wine is produced by Domaine Louis Latour, a well-respected name in the industry. The wine is closed with a traditional cork and has an alcohol content of 14.0%.

The wine has received positive reviews from several respected sources. Burghound awarded it a score of 94 points, noting its potential for extended cellaring. "There is a hint of kirsch to the exuberantly spicy, elegant and admirably pure nose that also offers up both red and dark pinot fruit scents," writes Burghound. They further describe the wine as having "a sophisticated mouth feel thanks to the very fine-grained tannins that shape the detailed and vibrant middle weight flavors that terminate in a beautifully complex, palate coating, and moderately austere finish." According to Burghound, this wine often stands out as Latour’s finest red, and the 2011 vintage appears to have similar potential.

Wine Spectator also gave the wine high marks with a score of 92 points. The review highlights the wine's expressiveness and fluidity, mentioning its "cherry, raspberry, spice and mineral flavors riding the vibrant structure to a lingering conclusion." The tannins are noted to show up on the finish but are "buffered by sweet fruit." Wine Spectator suggests that the wine will be at its best between 2016 and 2030 and mentions that only 366 cases were made.

Wine Enthusiast awarded the wine 93 points, emphasizing its solid, tannic structure and elegant composition. "The wine is already deliciously fruity, and will charm as it ages," writes Roger Voss for Wine Enthusiast. He points out that black fruits are prominent upfront, with the tannins serving as a fine supporting act. Voss recommends drinking it from 2017 onward.

Overall, the 2011 Domaine Louis Latour Romanee St Vivant Les Quatre Journaux is a well-regarded Pinot Noir that promises further development with cellaring. Its blend of fruitiness, fine tannins, and complex structure makes it a noteworthy choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
