    The wine

    The Clos de Vougeot from Domaine Louis Latour is made using 40-year-old Pinot noir vines grown in soil containing clay, chalk, and pebbles. The domain has opted for average yields of around 35 hectolitres per hectare as well as harvesting by hand. The meticulous vinification involves a traditional fermentation in open vats as well as complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured for 10 to 12 months in new, French oak casks that come directly from the Louis Latour cooperage.
    We recommend ageing this wine for ten to fifteen years in the cellar. It will then reveal an intense, ruby-red hue and an aromatic bouquet rich in notes of cloves, mocha, and violet. Its palate is ample and structured by supple tannins, alongside a lovely freshness that is carried by notes of liquorice and blackcurrant.
    Meat-lovers shouldn’t hesitate to pair this wine with a grilled or braised dish.

    Information about domain Louis Latour

    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, 28 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).
