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.
