I am not familiar with that particular vintage of that wine, but Louis Latour is a respected negotiant name in Burgundy.

A negotiant buys up wines and then blends and bottles under its name. The system is old in Burgundy; in fact, it's only been since the early twentieth century when inidvidual producers in Burgundy established their own bottlings on the world market.

Latour's address is Beaune. Unless the label says Appellation Beaune, the blend is a mix of other Burgundian areas and the appellation will be Burgogne.
