 A pale yellow wine with a delicate nose of vanilla, fresh hazelnut, and white peach, followed by a full-bodied palate dominated by notes of lime blossom and acacia honey, with a lingering mineral finish.

After the ravages of the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 19th century the Latour family took the then, unusual decision to tear up the dead Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines, and replace them with Chardonnay. This decision lead them to create one of Burgundy's most celebrated white wines. Today the Latour family owns 10.5 hectares which makes them the biggest owner in the appellation. The Latour's Corton-Charlemagne vineyards are located on a prime section of the Corton hillside where the south-easterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. The fruit is harvested as late as possible to guarantee maximum ripeness.

Family-owned and family-run for over two centuries, Maison Louis Latour is one of the most recognisable and sought-after names in Burgundy.
