Tasting notes
The 2020s are in the same ballpark as the 2021s, if not a touch more rounded and supple. The 2020 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Latour De France Visitare Interiore Terrae (60% Grenache and 40% Syrah) offers lots of both red and black berry fruits as well as complex garrigue, pepper, spice, and subtle leather nuances. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, round, layered, fruit-driven beauty with fine tannins and flawless balance.

The 2020 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Visitare Interiore Terrae is a blend of 60% Grenache (aged in concrete eggs) and 40% Syrah (aged in demi-muids). Attractive notions of blueberries and allspice mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich, concentrated and velvety.
The 2020 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Latour De France Visitare Interiore Terrae is a slightly more Grenache-driven release since 2019, and I think it shows more elegance and purity because of it. All destemmed and aged in a mix of concrete tanks and once-used demi-muids, it offers a beautiful perfume of kirsch and black berry fruits intermixed with more subtle pepper, garrigue, and floral notes. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, it’s going to have plenty of up-front appeal as well as 10-15 years of prime drinking.
A solid, well-built, flavorful and lively red with aromas of dark plums, dried leaves, Mediterranean herbs, baking spices and some meat. Full-bodied with plush tannins. There is an agile character at the center with a mineral frame. Well structured and focused, with a textured and well-weighted finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
