An authentic Morey-Saint-Denis from the Burgundian estate Louis Latour

The estate

Founded in 1797 by Jean Latour in Burgundy, this family-owned house has perpetuated a traditional know-how for over two centuries. Based in Beaune, it cultivates about 50 hectares of prestigious vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Aloxe-Corton, including Grands Crus. A former supplier to European courts, Louis Latour combines Burgundian tradition with international renown thanks to its ancestral cooperage and the Château Corton Grancey.

The vineyard

The vines of this Morey-Saint-Denis are planted on chalk and limestone soils, characteristic of this appellation located south of Gevrey-Chambertin. They benefit from controlled yields to preserve the quality and concentration of the grapes. Harvesting is carried out exclusively by hand to preserve the integrity of the pinot noir berries.

Winemaking and aging

Winemaking follows a traditional open vat approach, complemented by full malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place over 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels from the Louis Latour cooperage, with 20% new medium-toast wood, allowing a harmonious integration of oaky aromas.

Grape variety

This wine is made exclusively from pinot noir, the emblematic grape variety of the Côte de Nuits.
