The Estate

The largest wine estate in Burgundy, Domaine Louis Latour boasts a winemaking history of over 200 years. Spread across the finest parcels in Premiers and Grands Crus from the Côte de Beaune to the Côte de Nuits, the estate's 50-hectare vineyard produces a range of wines from 130 appellations, each authentically and elegantly expressing the characteristics of their original terroir.

A renowned Burgundy estate, Louis Latour has been actively committed to environmentally conscious viticulture since 1996.

The Vineyard

This Premier Cru is a Chambolle-Musigny wine from a poor limestone soil parcel called "Les Charmes," which designates a plateau with little vegetation as it was long an uncultivated field.

Vinification and Aging

Traditional fermentation in open vats. Aging for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels from the estate's cooperage (40% new).

Grape Variety

Pinot Noir (100%).
