Everyone loves the wines of Louis Latour and I’m delighted to offer such a tasty selection of them here, particularly — thanks to the good offices of Mr Wheeler — at such appetising prices.
Louis Latour was founded in 1797 and remains family-owned, with the 11th generation represented by 54-year-old general manager, Louis-Fabrice Latour, who, until his son Louis was born, was known simply as ‘Young Louis’.
Maison Louis Latour not only makes wine from its own 50-hectare domaine in the Côte d’Or but also from grapes and wines bought in from other long-standing growers. Quality is everything. I’ve always loved and trusted the company’s wines and whenever I spy a Louis Latour bottle on a wine list I know I’m in safe hands.
Of course, the 2016 Louis Latour Ardèche Chardonnay (1) isn’t from Burgundy at all but — you’re doubtless one step ahead of me here — the Ardèche in southern France.
