In the glass, the wine displays a pale yellow hue with green-tinged highlights. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of honey, acacia, and almond, setting the stage for a generous palate. Flavours of toasted almonds unfold against a backdrop of bright acidity, and the wine closes with a refreshing, slightly saline finish that wakes the palate.
Produced by Maison Louis Latour, one of Burgundy’s most respected family producers since 1797, this wine is made in their Ardèche holdings, planted in 1979 on clay–limestone soils ideal for Chardonnay. Only the finest vineyard plots are selected. The must is pressed and fermented in French oak barrels (approximately 25% new), crafted in Latour’s own cooperage. The wine is aged for 10 months, undergoing full malolactic fermentation, providing smooth texture and complexity akin to Côte d’Or whites.
Serve chilled (10–12 °C), ideal with shellfish, smoked fish, charcuterie, or as a refined sipper on its own.

Maison Louis Latour is one of the most innovative producers in Burgundy, whilst maintaining its traditional image. In 1979, with a view to expanding the business, the valley of the Ardèche river with its clay and limestone-based soils was chosen as the ideal location to produce a top quality Chardonnay wine. The average age of the vines is now 25 years. The winemaking is traditional in stainless steel vats, temperature controlled with complete malolactic fermentation for extra complexity and roundness. Ageing is for 8 to 10 months in stainless steel also.

A pristine Burgundy Chardonnay: crisp orchard fruit, delicate floral lift, and a mineral-driven finish. Unoaked, expressive, and delightfully balanced.
