    Information
    About the producer

    A family business since its creation in 1797, Louis Latour is one of the most recognised wine merchants and maturers 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. Alongside them, Éléonore Latour, Louis Fabrice's daughter, has joined them on this adventure and is already setting her sights on the future.
    The Louis Latour house gradually formed a vast estate, 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). Careful attention is also paid to the vinification process, respecting every grape variety, every appellation and every plot. And a special feature about this house is that it has its own copperage, which allows them to create the barrels as they would like.
    The house's style is precise and exact. The red wines are subtle with a great elegance and the white wine are rich and balanced. We would recommend forgetting about these bottles in your cellar for a while...

    About the wine

    The Chambolle-Musigny appellation, at the very heart of the Côte de Nuits, is home to the Les Chatelots climat. Its name derives from the old French word “chastelot”, meaning small castle or fortification, a nod to the site’s medieval past. Located on an east- and south-east-facing slope, it rests on marl-limestone soils combining fine clays with limestone scree. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, and vinified in open vats with fermentation led by native yeasts. Maceration lasts around three weeks, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. The wine is then aged in French oak casks for ten months.
    The clear ruby-red hue is enhanced by brilliant garnet glints. The delicate, floral bouquet, so typical of Chambolle, reveals notes of peony, raspberry and Morello cherry, lifted by hints of incense, nutmeg and a subtle limestone minerality. The palate is elegant and refined, carried by fine-grained tannins, flowing into a long finish marked by notes of fresh cherry and dried flowers.
