Louis Latour: Elegant Grand Crus from Burgundy

Discover Maison Louis Latour

Founded in 1797, Maison Louis Latour is one of the most iconic and historic producers of Burgundy Wines. Located in Aloxe-Corton, this independent family-owned estate boasts the largest domain of Grand Crus in the Côte d'Or. It is globally recognized for its exceptional heritage, particularly on the Corton hill, where it crafts legendary cuvées such as the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (white) and the Corton Clos de la Vigne au Saint (red). Maison Louis Latour is known for its classic and elegant style, the result of centuries-old expertise and a comprehensive mastery from cooperage to winemaking.

Terroir and Characteristics

The estate spans the finest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, with rich, diverse soils including clay and limestone, ideal for expressing noble grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. A pioneer in developing new terroirs, Maison Louis Latour also produces high-quality wines in the Ardèche and Var regions.

Wine Profile

Louis Latour wines are renowned for their balance, aromatic finesse, and remarkable aging potential. The reds offer an elegant structure with notes of red fruits, spices, and subtle oak nuances from careful barrel aging. The whites, particularly the Corton-Charlemagne, are powerful and refined, revealing aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a unique minerality.

Food Pairings

Louis Latour wines pair beautifully with a variety of dishes:

• Corton reds complement game dishes or grilled red meats.
• Corton-Charlemagne pairs wonderfully with seafood, sauced fish, or hard cheeses like Comté or Beaufort.
• Côte de Beaune wines are excellent with aged Époisses or roasted poultry.
