The vineyard

This Louis Latour cuvée is a Bâtard-Montrachet wine from an 11.86-hectare vineyard. This terroir lies between the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Both are renowned for producing prestigious wines.

This vineyard is separated from the famous Montrachet Grand Cru plot by a narrow strip of land. East-facing, this exceptional terroir rests on predominantly gravelly clay soil, which gives the wine an aromatic expression of great refinement.

Winemaking and ageing

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in oak barrels, a choice that brings additional aromatic complexity to the wine. Aged in oak barrels for 8 to 12 months.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%)
