Louis Latour

The Latour family are long established in Burgundy's wine trade. They began as vine growers in the village of Aloxe-Corton as early as 1760s and went on to establish today's business, Maison Louis Latour, in 1797. Today they are one of the region's most famous names, creating wines from their own 50 hectare domaine in the Côte d'Or and from grapes and wines purchased through the negociant arm of the business.

In the late 1980s, following from the success of their Ardèche project, Latour set out to find an alternative location to grow Pinot Noir. They settled on a high altitude site by a former monastery in northern Provence, sitting at 500m above sea level in the Verdon Hills. Unlike the Ardèche where a partnership was forged with local growers, Latour planted their own vineyards and created Domaine de Valmoissine.

The Domaine de Valmoissine in Var is a high altitude site by a former monastery in northern Provence, sitting at 500m above sea level in the Verdon Hills. Pinot Noir was not known to grow successfully in the high temperatures of Southern France but the high altitude location helped to temper the warm Provence summer days and brought cool nights and the benefits of the Mistral wind.

The wine is ruby coloured with garnet tints. It has intense aromas of raspberry and wild savoury notes. The palate displays notes of blackcurrant, liquorice and mocha. This wine is harmonious with ripe tannins and balanced acidity.

Winemaking is simple and employs traditional Burgundian techniques. The wine is de-stemmed and fermented in open top vats. It is then matured in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 months.
