✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Louis Latour, established in 1797, is one of Burgundy's most venerable and historic wine producers. This white wine, 'Les Deux Moulins' (The Two Mills), draws its name from the historic watermills or windmills that once dotted the pastoral Burgundian landscape, symbolizing the ancient connection between the region's agriculture and its viticultural heritage. Crafted with Latour's centuries-old expertise, this wine is a classic expression of Burgundian Chardonnay. It is sourced from vineyards featuring the region's signature limestone-dominant soils, which impart a distinct mineral tension. To preserve its bright, energetic fruit profile, the wine is typically fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, resulting in a pure, elegant, and highly approachable white Burgundy that balances crisp green apple and citrus notes with a subtle, rounded texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1797 and rooted in Aloxe-Corton since the 17th century, Maison Louis Latour is one of Burgundy's most historic family-owned wine merchants and domaine producers, managed across more than eleven generations. Headquartered in Beaune, the house holds the largest collection of Grand Cru vineyard acreage in the Côte d'Or, notably including legendary holdings on the hill of Corton such as Corton-Charlemagne and Château Corton Grancey. Renowned for operating its own traditional cooperage and pioneering ventures into regions like the Ardèche and Provence, the maison upholds a classic, terroir-focused winemaking philosophy. Its portfolio is globally celebrated for producing impeccably balanced, age-worthy expressions of Pinot Noir and refined, mineral-driven Chardonnay.
