The estate

The Maison Louis Latour is one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy still owned by the founding family. The Latour family began acquiring vineyards in the Côte de Beaune as early as 1731, and Jean Latour settled in Aloxe-Corton in 1768, where he developed a significant wine estate. Owner of exceptional plots in Aloxe-Corton, including the prestigious Corton Grèves and Corton Bressandes, this domaine has distinguished itself by its historic winery.

The vineyard

Chambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest appellations of the Côte de Nuits, renowned for its delicately perfumed and elegant wines. This cuvée is made from vines averaging 30 years of age, flourishing on a clay-limestone subsoil that imparts the wine with its characteristic finesse.

Winemaking and ageing

Traditional vinification in open vats. Complete malolactic fermentation. The ageing period of 10 to 12 months is carried out in French oak barrels from the estate's cooperage, of which 20% are new wood, with a medium toast that preserves the wine's natural elegance.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
