Louis Latour
About Louis Latour
One of the most prominent vine owners and négociants in Beaune, Maison Louis Latour have been growing grapes in the Côte de Beaune as early as 1731. They are currently the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte d’Or. The estate is also proudly family-owned and is now managed by Louis-Fabrice Latour, the seventh Louis and the 11th generation of the Latour family.
The Latour family has been proprietors of a part of Romanée-Saint-Vivant since December 1898. "Les Quatre Journaux" is a magnificent plot of land situated at the South-West of Romanée Saint Vivant, a few meters from the Romanée-Conti vineyard.

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a tropical-toned bouquet with scents of passion fruit and pineapple chunks that are well defined and focused, if perhaps reflecting more the growing season than the terroir. The palate is well balanced and quite honeyed in texture, with moderate acidity, though I appreciate the spicy stem ginger note that furnishes the almost white-Rhône-like finish. Then again, it does cut away a little quickly, so perhaps give this another two or three years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£1,140.04 -
