Louis Latour is a Burgundy wine producer based in Meursault, one of the Côte de Beaune's most celebrated white wine villages. The house produces both red and white wines, working primarily with Burgundy's traditional grape varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while also producing wines from other French regions including the Ardèche and Provence.
Burgundy's reputation rests on its expression of terroir through single-vineyard wines, with a classification system ranging from regional appellations to Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites. The region's continental climate and limestone-rich soils create ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, producing wines that emphasize elegance and minerality over power. Meursault specifically is known for rich, full-bodied white wines that combine weight with finesse.
Louis Latour's current range spans multiple quality levels within Burgundy, including Grand Cru sites like Corton-Charlemagne and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Premier Cru wines from appellations such as Puligny-Montrachet and Chambolle-Musigny, and village-level wines from areas like Nuits-Saint-Georges and Morey-Saint-Denis. The producer also makes wines from the Ardèche region in southern France, working with varieties like Viognier alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from this warmer climate.
