The estate
The largest wine estate in Burgundy, Domaine Louis Latour boasts a winemaking history spanning more than 200 years. Spread across the finest Premier and Grand Cru plots from the Côte de Beaune to the Côte de Nuits, the 50-hectare vineyard of Domaine Louis Latour produces a range of wines from 130 appellations, each expressing the character of its terroir with authenticity and refinement. Since 1996, Domaine Louis Latour has been actively committed to conscientious, environmentally friendly viticulture.
The vineyard
This Louis Latour cuvée is a Bâtard-Montrachet wine from an 11.86-hectare vineyard. This terroir lies between the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Both are renowned for producing prestigious wines.
This vineyard is separated from the famous Montrachet Grand Cru plot by a narrow strip of land. East-facing, this exceptional terroir rests on predominantly gravelly clay soil, which gives the wine an aromatic expression of great refinement.
Winemaking and ageing
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in oak barrels, a choice that brings additional aromatic complexity to the wine. Aged in oak barrels for 8 to 12 months.
Grape variety
Chardonnay (100%)
