AboutMaison Louis Latour
Maison Louis Latour has been rooted in Burgundy since 1797 and remains independent under the founding family. Its estate covers about fifty hectares, including grand cru vineyards in the Côte d’Or. Alongside its estate wines, the house selects and matures wines from other growers.
A historic gravity-fed winery and an in-house barrel workshop are part of the operation; the workshop makes French-oak barrels for the cellars. On the estate, hand harvesting, cover crops, compost made on site and non-chemical pest controls are among the practices used to care for the soils and vineyards.
Louis Latour 2016/18 Corton Perrieres Gc
French Red
Dark cherry and currant meet forest floor, mocha, liquorice and pepper in a broad, structured red. The Perrières parcel sits high on the Corton hill in an old stone quarry, where brown and red clay over limestone contribute freshness and mineral definition. Traditional open-vat fermentation and maturation in French oak build depth without obscuring the wine’s long, poised finish.
Maison Louis Latour Château Corton Grancey 2010 Grand Cru
French Wine
Deeply coloured and aromatic, with cassis, ripe cherry, saffron and an earthy undertone. The palate is powerful but polished, its tannins wrapping around the fruit with a silky, controlled texture. Notes of spice, dark berries and forest floor develop with air, while the wine retains firm structure and definition. The finish is long and savoury, giving this grand cru both authority and restraint.
Maison Louis Latour 2017 Pommard Premier Cru Les Epenots
French Red
Blackcurrant, liquorice and woodland aromas lead a deep, savoury Pinot Noir profile. The palate is ample and rounded, combining dark fruit with measured oak and a return of liquorice through the mid-palate. Firm, persistent tannins provide shape without making the wine feel severe, while earthy undergrowth adds mature Burgundy character. The finish is long, structured and composed. Decant briefly and serve with duck confit, beef bourguignon or mature cheese.
