History
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. 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. They also produce all their own barrels at their small, traditional cooperage in Savigny-Lès-Beaune.
Regional Information
Rully is the first village in the Côte Chalonnaise as you move south out of Côte-d'Or. The quality of its white wines lies in the conjunction of marl-limestone soils and a slightly higher altitude than in Côte de Beaune, ranging from 230 to 300 meters. The Chardonnay combines exquisite freshness with beautiful generosity.
Vinification Details
Fermented in stainless steel vats, then aged for between 8 to 10 months in the same vessel.
