✨ Technical Specifications
Tucked away in a steep valley just behind the legendary Grand Cru slopes of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, the village of Saint-Aubin has long been Burgundy's best-kept secret. Historically overlooked due to its cooler microclimate, Saint-Aubin has emerged as a darling of sommeliers, offering exceptional terroir-driven whites with remarkable energy. Louis Latour's Saint-Aubin Blanc is a masterful expression of this appellation, crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown on steep, stony limestone soils. The wine is vinified traditionally in oak barrels, undergoing complete malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak casks from Latour's own cooperage. This process imparts a delicate roundness and subtle toasted notes that beautifully balance the wine's natural, chalky minerality and vibrant citrus core, reflecting the historic heritage of Côte de Beaune winemaking.
