The vineyards extend from Chambertin in the north to Chevalier-Montrachet in the south and are solely planted with the two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. All of the grapes from the vineyards we own are vinified and aged in the attractive cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. A unique rail-way 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 from its own vineyards under the name Domaine Louis Latour. The Latour family founded the ‘Maison de négoce Read more »

I'd like to pair it with 2-3 wines, mostly as a pairing experiment to see which works best. Any ideas? I was thinking I could potentially combine the dinner with the vintage VS NV champagne combo I've been meaning to do...other ideas... Read More

Tart but not minerally. Kind of flat without enough of the acidity that a good white burgundy should have. Not bad, just not really good. Read More

Middle of the road and acceptable for the price point. Little on the light side but nice if that's what you're looking for. Read More

Here is a tart, tight little wine with a whiff of raspberry on the nose that works wonders as a foil for local PN producers (British Columbia, Canada). There is some structure though this is not a wine for the cellar. An excellent picnic and food wine that should be a benchmark for cool climate PN in the Pacific Northwest, my suggestion is to s...
