Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 is a distinguished white wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the esteemed Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The vineyard's stony limestone soil and southeast exposure contribute to the wine's exceptional quality.
Maison Louis Latour is a distinguished family-owned winery in Burgundy, France, with a history dating back to 1797. The Latour family's involvement in viticulture began even earlier, in 1731, with their first vineyard acquisition in the Côte de Beaune.
In 1832, Maison Louis Latour constructed the Corton Grancey Cuverie in Aloxe-Corton, the first purpose-built winery in France. Ingeniously designed over five levels into a hillside, it utilizes gravity for the winemaking process, minimizing the need for pumps and preserving the wine's integrity.
