About the wine
Domaine Henri Latour is a 15 hectare estate owned and managed by brothers, Francois and Sylvan Latour, in Auxey-Duresses. They represent the 7th generation of growers. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and Guyot trained with de-budding in the spring. The fruit is hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard and again when it arrives at the Domaine via a sorting table. Alcoholic fermentation for whites is done in barrel as is the malolactic fermentation for reds. This estate represents fantastic values from top to bottom. "La Chapelle" is a luit-die within the 1er Cru of “Reugne.” Replanted in 1989 These vines average 32 years in age.
Aging: 10% new French Oak, 100% barrel fermented
Tasting Notes: Ripe lively nose of wildflowers, brown herbs, and bright red fruits. There is excellent weight and texture in the mouth, ripe red cherry, spicy mid-palate with an outstanding balance, hints of toast, and yellow straw on the finish. This wine represents great value!
