About Chateau Latour
Formal establishment of today s family brand which buys, trades and makes wine, accumulating 48 prime hectares of vineyards, happened in 1797. Seven generations of Latour s, and hence the survival of the name, steered the firm to make great white wines. The vineyards of Corton have been Latour s most famous. And after the phylloxera vine ravage of the Corton-Charlemagne in the 1870s for 30 years, the Latours took the odd step of replanting the common aligot variety and pinot noir, with chardonnay. This appellation produces some of the greatest chardonnays in all Burgundy. Part of the success of Corton-Charlemagne from this maker is their differing approach to barrels. Since 1898, Latour has made its own barriques (2500 of 228 litres). Even more remarkable is that just one type of barrel is made; medium toast firing of a secret oak supplied from a blend of forests. Moxon Oak imports and sells hundreds of these barrels to Australian winemakers. And now local winemaking technocrats may buy Latour wines made with the same oak they and Louis Latour use; currently, the 2015 vintage is available. Uncorked tour guests tasted Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne 2014 at Corton Grancey winery in 2016; far more restrained yet oak is aniseed-like, the fruit is shyer from the vintage conditions, and flavour not as broad or orange-creme as a riper year.
