Louis Latour Montagny 1er Cru "La Grande Roche" 2019 is a distinguished white wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagny appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise region in Burgundy, France. The vineyard's elevated position on limestone-rich slopes contributes to the wine's exceptional quality.


In the glass, this wine presents a bright pale-yellow color. The nose is floral with a hint of sweet bun. On the palate, it is ample and round, revealing exotic and white fruit aromas with a touch of vanilla. The finish is very fresh with a slightly salty note.

About Maison Louis Latour

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.


The winery specializes in crafting elegant wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, reflecting the unique terroirs of their vineyards. Their commitment to quality is evident in their meticulous vineyard management and winemaking practices.
