Shipping informations

Made from Viognier vines that are an average of 15 years old, planted on clay-limestone slopes in the Ardèche, this wine is the fruit of the precise know-how of Maison Louis Latour. The grapes are harvested by hand to guarantee optimum quality, then vinified in the traditional way in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with complete malolactic fermentation. Ageing in stainless steel vats for 12 months preserves the purity of the fruit and the freshness of the aromas. A white wine with character, both modern and faithful to its terroir.

The domain

Louis Latour is an emblematic Burgundy house, recognized worldwide for its expertise and dedication to the art of wine. Founded in 1797, this family-run business has survived the centuries while preserving its traditions and innovating to sublimate the expression of Burgundy's terroir. Thanks to a combination of exacting standards, expertise and love of the vine, Louis Latour has established itself as a benchmark in the wine world, offering a range of cuvées that reflect the diversity and richness of this exceptional region.

LOUIS LATOUR, A HISTORICAL LEGACY

Louis Latour's history is deeply rooted in that of Burgundy. Established in Aloxe-Corton, the company is located in the heart of a prestigious terroir, renowned for its grands crus. In 1834, the Latour family acquired the Côte de Beaune, a property that symbolizes their attachment to the terroir. A pioneer in viticulture and winemaking, the house has developed a philosophy based on quality and respect for tradition. It has also set itself apart by becoming one of the first Burgundy houses to export its wines internationally, raising the profile of Burgundy beyond French borders.

LATOUR VINEYARD AND CELLAR WORK

The success of Louis Latour wines depends on meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar. The plots, often from terroirs classified as premier cru and grand cru, receive attentive care throughout the year: pruning, disbudding, manual harvesting, and rigorous selection of bunches. In the cellar, expertise takes over with vinification that respects fruit and terroir. Latour is also renowned for its masterful use of oak barrels, made in its own cooperage, guaranteeing optimal ageing and a unique signature. This attention to detail produces wines that are elegant, complex and well-balanced.

Louis Latour offers a diverse range of cuvées, reflecting the richness of Burgundy's appellations. Among the red wines, enthusiasts particularly appreciate Corton Grand Cru and Chambertin, which combine power and finesse. White wines such as Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet are perfect examples of the elegance and minerality of Burgundy's great Chardonnays. In addition to the prestigious crus, Louis Latour offers affordable wines such as Mâcon-Lugny and Petit Chablis, ideal for discovering the region.

LOUIS LATOUR'S ARDECHE WINES

In addition to its roots in Burgundy, Maison Louis Latour has also extended its expertise to the south of France, in the Ardèche region. Since the 1970s, it has been investing in this region to produce quality white wines, particularly from the Chardonnay grape. Ardèche wines are distinguished by their freshness and elegance, while offering fruitier, sunnier expressions than their Burgundian counterparts. Grand Ardèche, for example, is a refined white wine, vinified and aged with the same exacting standards as Burgundy crus, revealing notes of ripe fruit, vanilla and roundness. This adventure illustrates Louis Latour's ability to combine tradition with the exploration of new viticultural horizons.
