Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet 2024

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Founded in 1797, Louis Latour is a renowned family-run French winery that has been producing fine Burgundy wines for over two centuries. The estate owns approximately 50 hectares of vineyards in the most prestigious areas of the Côte d’Or (27 of which are classified as Grand Cru) and also purchases some of its grapes from trusted local growers. The winery, now run by Louis-Fabrice, the seventh generation of the family, is also a member of the prestigious Henokiens association, which brings together companies that have been continuously family-run for over 200 years. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from a vineyard approximately 30 years old, planted on chalky, clayey soils in the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, south of Puligny-Montrachet. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place traditionally in oak barrels, and the finished wine ages in medium-toasted French oak barrels (15% new) for 8 to 10 months. Louis Latour's Chassagne-Montrachet has a bright straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose, it reveals a fragrant aromatic profile with notes of stone fruit and yellow fruit, and hints of almond. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant, round and generous, with lively acidity and a long, persistent finish. Try it with seafood and goat cheeses.
