The Rich Tradition of Maison Louis Latour
: The family-run company of Maison Louis Latour is one of the most highly-respected négociant-éléveurs in Burgundy. Renowned throughout the world for the quality of its red and white wines, the company has built a reputation for tradition and innovation.

The Latours have been vintners since the 17th century, slowly building up a unique estate of 125 acres. This domaine has the largest grand cru property in the Cote d'Or with a total of 71.58 acres. The vineyards extend from Chambertin in the north to Chevalier-Montrachet in the south and are solely planted with the two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

All of the grapes from the estate vineyards are vinified and aged in the attractive cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. This winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. A unique rail-way system with elevators allows the entire wine-making process to be achieved by the use of gravity. Since 1985, Louis Latour has been selling the wines of its own vineyards under the name Domaine Louis Latour.

In addition to crafting highly sought after white and red Burgundies, Louis Latour has pioneered the production of fine wines outside of the confines of Burgundy, in the Ardèche region of France.
