Louis Latour : Pommard 1er cru "Les Arvelets" 2019

A delicate and balanced red wine from Burgundy

The estate

Founded in 1797, the Maison Louis Latour is today represented by the 11th generation with Louis-Fabrice Latour at its head. A wine merchant and grower, Maison Louis Latour owns the largest domain of Grand Crus in Burgundy.

The vineyard

"Les Arvelets" is a Pommard wine 1er cru distinguished by the location of its vineyard at the bottom of a valley, on a south-facing slope at 270 meters altitude. This clay-limestone, rich and deep terroir, gives birth to red wines of beautiful opulence, reflecting the reputation of the appellation. The vines, averaging 30 years old, rest on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and aging

Once the manual harvest is done, fermentation is carried out traditionally in open vats with 100% malolactic fermentation. The aging of 10 to 12 months is carried out in French oak barrels (35% new) from the cooperage of Maison Louis Latour.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%).
