The estate

Founded in 1797, the Louis Latour house is now represented by the 11th generation with Louis-Fabrice Latour at its head. As a wine merchant and producer, Louis Latour owns the largest estate of Grand Crus in Burgundy.

The vineyard

Named Gevrey-en-Montagne until 1847, Gevrey-Chambertin is a village in the Côtes de Nuits located about ten kilometers from Dijon. The vineyards, averaging 30 years old, planted on shallow brown-red clay-limestone soils, give birth to a great wine from Gevrey-Chambertin.

Vinification and aging

Once the manual harvest is done, fermentation is carried out traditionally in open vats with 100% malolactic fermentation. The aging of 10 to 12 months is carried out in French oak barrels (including 20% new barrels) from the Louis Latour cooperage.

Blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
