| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nAttractive freshness and fragrance with white peaches and hazelnuts, making for a very approachable nose. The palate has a bright pear and melon edge with good acidity and some tropical notes to close.\r\nJames Suckling 90 Points\r\nAbout Louis Latour Winery\r\nThe Louis Latour family first bought vines in the Cote de Beaune in 1731, with land in some of the top Burgundy vineyards. Cooperage was already at that period a family occupation.\r\nMaison Louis Latour is one of the most highly-respected n\u00e9gociant-\u00e9l\u00e9veurs in Burgundy. Maison Louis Latour is the producer of some of the finest Burgundian wines but has also pioneered the production of fine wines from outside of the confines of Burgundy. These wines from the Ard\u00e8che and the C\u00f4teaux de Verdon are slowly gaining esteem for their unmatchable quality outside of Burgundy.\r\nAll of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the attractive cuverie of Chateau Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. A unique railway system with elevators allows the entire wine-making process to be achieved by the use of gravity. This eliminates the threat of oxidation from unnecessary pumping of the must. Since 1985, Louis Latour has been selling the wines of its own vineyards under the name Domaine Louis Latour.\r\nLouis Latour has been a leader in the environmentally responsible winemaking for over 15 years. Louis Latour has had Iso 14001 accreditation for Environmental Management Systems since 2003 and has been a member of the European association Farre since 1998- a group of like-minded companies who seek to develop and promote sustainable methods of agriculture. |
