A Burgundy Grand Cru at the Pinnacle of Excellence

The Estate

Founded in 1797, Maison Louis Latour is one of Burgundy's leading names. Based in Aloxe-Corton, this family house, now in its eleventh generation, owns the largest holding of Grands Crus in Burgundy. Its dual role as both estate and négociant, together with its historic part in introducing Chardonnay to Corton-Charlemagne, makes it a benchmark of excellence.

The Vineyard

The Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru "Les Demoiselles" comes from an exceptional 0.51-hectare plot at the top of the Montrachet hill, in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. The vineyard lies on a subsoil of clay and chalk. The vines, with an average age of 40 years, are harvested by hand and yield an average of 35 hectolitres per hectare.
