About the Wine

With the largest holding of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy (68 acres), the philosophy has always been to maximize the quality of the grapes to produce great wines. The care and attention to detail seen in their sustainably farmed vineyards are carried over into their winemaking where commitment to traditional and manual techniques brings out the absolute best in all of their incredibly age-worthy and food-friendly wines.

Louis Latour stands out among its competitors as it controls every aspect of production from grape to bottle. The winery operates its own vineyard, nursery, forests for oak sourcing of their barrels, printing shop, and even unique bottle shape.

Today, Maison Latour operates 25 family-owned and managed companies around the world. The winery produces wine from 140 appellations. The winery also owns and operates Maison Simmoney-Febve in Chablis and Maison Henry Fessy, which remarkably produces wines in nine out of ten Cru Beaujolais. The winery also produces white wine in the Ardeche (near Cotes du Rhone) and Pinot Noir at Dom. de Valmolsinne in Southern France.

In the US, Louis Latour operates as its own importer, cutting out the middleman, which mirrors BHW's own cost-efficiency.

Jean Charles Thomas has been the winemaker at Louis Latour for 32 years. Prior to that, he apprenticed with Jean Pierre Jobard for more than 10 years. Jean Charles is widely considered one of the finest winemakers in the world, with unrivaled experience and expertise with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. During his tenure at Louis Latour, he has produced more than 40 wines rated 95+.

Aging: 10 to 12 months in French oak, 20% new

Tasting Notes:Red Wine. 100% Pinot Noir. With its garnet-red color, this wine is characterized by complex notes of red berries, undergrowth, and licorice. The mouth is ample and silky with delicate aromas of undergrowth, blackcurrant, and hazelnut. An elegant wine with a great freshness.

Reviews

This moderately oaked effort is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction which renders an evaluation of the nose difficult. Otherwise, there is a really lovely mouth feel to the sleek, vibrant and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that possess a refined mouth feel, all wrapped in a dusty, mouth coating and moderately austere finale. This will need a few years of cellar time first but I like the development potential here. 2021+.  ~91 Burghound.com

A rich, expressive red, laced with cherry, currant, cinnamon, and stone flavors. Powerful, packing a punch on the long, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2019 through 2033. ~90 Wine Spectator
