Louis Latour wines are steeped in centuries of history, tradition, and a deep love for the craft of winemaking.
The Latour family acquired their first vines and vineyards in 1731, with Maison Louis Latour founded in 1797 – just a few short years after the French Revolution. This makes them one of the oldest and most respected wine producers in Burgundy, with nearly three centuries of grape growing and winemaking heritage behind them.
The vineyards of Louis Latour are spread across some of the most coveted appellations in Burgundy, including Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet, and Chambertin. These prime locations, with their diverse soils and microclimates, provide the ideal environment for growing the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The winery’s deep knowledge and understanding of traditional viticultural practices ensures that each grape is nurtured to its fullest potential.
Quality and authenticity are core values for Louis Latour – how could it be otherwise, with their pedigree? – and this shows in their sustainable farming methods and meticulous winemaking techniques. Each bottle showcases the character, heritage and true beauty Burgundy.
From the Handpicked Wine Cellars:
Louis Latour’s wine portfolio is impressive, showcasing a wide range of reds and whites that cater to various palates. The En Paradis Chardonnay is a small-batch wine from the appellation of Pouilly-Vinzelles – whose name comes in part from the Roman word for “little vine”, showing just how long these lands have been producing exquisite grapes. It’s fresh, fruity and unquestionably elegant.
The Louis Latour reds are celebrated for their depth, balance, and superb aging potential – we recommend the Fixin Pinot Noir: deep purple, a rich palate with fine and silky tannins (plus it’s similar to their flagship Gevrey-Chambertin – at a more affordable price).
