Louis Latour Chevalier Montrachet Les Demoiselles 2013 750ml

Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913 Domaine Louis LATOUR purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Léonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Château. This vineyard carries the name “Les Demoiselles” in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adèle and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without marrying.

On the same hill as Montrachet, Louis Latour’s plot, with a total surface area of 0.51 hectares of Chevalier Montrachet, is very well exposed to produce grapes of the highest quality every year. A complex nose unveils notes of vanilla, brioche and almond paste, before giving way to a broad, generous palate with slightly spicy aromas of yellow fruit and mango.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples.

Louis Latour Chevalier Montrachet has been a leader in the environmentally responsible winemaking for over 15 years. Louis Latour has had ISO 14001 accreditation for Environmental Management Systems since 2003 and has been a member of the European association FARRE since 1998- a group of like-minded companies who seek to develop and promote sustainable methods of agriculture.

Tasting Note:
