A velvety and luscious red Grand Cru from Bourgogne

The estate

Founded in 1797 by the Latour family, this Burgundian estate has remained independent and family-owned for more than two centuries. Historically established in Aloxe-Corton in Côte de Beaune, Louis Latour is today the largest Grands Crus estate in the Côte d'Or. The estate is still managed by the Latour family, continuing the tradition of passing down the name Louis from generation to generation, showcasing an ancestral expertise that combines cooperage and exceptional Burgundian viticulture.

The vineyard

This Echézeaux comes from a superb parcel located above the Clos Vougeot, between Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot in the Côte de Nuits. Formerly the property of the Abbaye de Cîteaux, this terroir features diversified and complex soils composed of clay, limestone and gravel, with an east-facing exposure. The vines, averaging 40 years old, produce a controlled yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare, hand-harvested to preserve the quality of the grapes.

Winemaking and aging

Traditional winemaking is carried out in open vats with full malolactic fermentation. The aging takes place over 10 to 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels from the Louis Latour cooperage with medium toast, giving the wine its harmonious structure and great aging potential.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
