A Structured and Expressive Red Wine from the Côte de Beaune

The Estate
With over two centuries of history, the Domaine Louis Latour stands as one of the great names of Burgundy. Spanning 50 hectares between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits, this family house cultivates excellence within the most beautiful climates in premier and grand crus. Committed since 1996 to environmentally respectful viticulture, the estate works to preserve its terroirs with a sustainable and reasoned approach.

The Vineyard
Located at the foot of the Corton hill, the village of Aloxe-Corton stretches over soils composed of clay, sand, and alluvial gravel. This well-drained terroir, combined with vines averaging 30 years old, gives birth to wines that are both elegant and intensely aromatic.

Vinification and Aging
After manual harvesting, the berries ferment in open vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out 100%, and then the wine is aged for 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels, 15% of which are new, crafted by the estate's cooperage.

Grape Variety
100% Pinot Noir
