75 cl

Wine Spectator: 92 points

Alcohol content: 13% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Pinot Noir

Vinification:

Traditional vinification in open barrels. Malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures for 10-12 months in large oak barrels (20% new).

Dedication note:I

Dark violet in the glass with garnet-red reflections. The nose is spicy and fresh with a cherry flavour. On the palate, the Chambolle-Musigny is silky and rich. Black cherry and pepper flavours can be found again. The wine finishes with a lovely fresh length.

Domaine et Maison Latour:

Today, the 11th Latour generation is already running the wine trade and winegrowing business. The management of the family business is always passed on to the first-born - and for eight generations he has always had the first name Louis.

Today, no fewer than seven domaines mainly vinify grapes from the Côte d'Or, but also from Chablis, Beaujolais and the south of France.

Maison Louis Latour is the only company in Burgundy to produce all of its own pièces (wooden barrels) in its own cooperage. Wines from over 100 AOCs are matured in around 3500 barrels. Louis Latour's wines are elegant and fragrant. The focus is less on concentration and more on elegance.
