Wine for sale: Louis Latour
Louis Latour
This house, which is one of the most well-known in Burgundy, excels in both its red and white wine production. These are great classics, essential to any wine enthusiast’s collection.
A family business since its creation in 1797, Louis Latour is one of the most recognised traders/ famers in Burgundy. It has remained a family enterprise for over two centuries and is thus part of the closed circle of the Henokiens. It is now Florent Latour, representative of the 11th generation who is at its head since the disappearance of his brother Louis Fabrice. The Louis Latour house gradually formed a vast domaine, extending from Chambertin to Chevalier-Montrachet: 48 hectares, 27 in grand crus. It cultivates Pinot Noir for its reds and Chardonnay for its whites. Over the last thirty years, the company has also spread in the Ardèche, in the Var and in the Pierres Dorées region, also producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Maison is committed to a more ecologically friendly and respectful terroir by adopting responsible and sustainable agriculture (limitation of pesticides, compost and ploughing of certain parcels).
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
BETTANE & DESSEAUVE
"The white wines, produced from Chardonnay picked at full maturity, often offer a roundness which envelops the palate, slightly acidic, with predominantly notes of yellow plum and candied lemon. The reds, […] have gained in precision these past 5 years and have risen to the same qualitative level of the domain’s whites.”
LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE
“This illustrious, family-run house sticks to its principles, particularly in its conception of fine Burgundy wines, untouched by the vagaries of fashion.”
