Louis Latour
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
| After the ravages of the phylloxera aphid at the end of the 19th century it was the Latour family that first tore up the dead Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines and replaced them with Chardonnay. Today Louis Latour own almost 10 hectares of Corton Charlemagne vineyard within the village of Aloxe-Corton. It is situated on the prime area of the Corton hillside of where its southeasterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. The fruit is harvested as late as possible to guarantee maximum ripeness. | |
