✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the rolling, limestone-rich hills of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy, Louis Latour's Mâcon-Villages 'Chameroy' is a beautiful expression of pure, unvarnished Chardonnay. The name 'Chameroy' is historic to the house, representing a classic style that prioritizes freshness and fruit purity. To achieve this vibrant character, the grapes are fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, undergoing full malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity and impart a subtle, creamy roundness. This traditional approach captures the essence of the region's clay-limestone soils, delivering a wine that is both delightfully approachable and deeply rooted in Burgundian heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1797, Maison Louis Latour stands as one of Burgundy's most historically prominent family-owned négociant-éleveurs and domaine estates, boasting the largest portfolio of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte d'Or. Anchored on the limestone-rich, south and southeast-facing slopes of the Corton hill, Latour vinifies fruit at the landmark gravity-fed Cuverie Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. Viticulture adheres to rigorous lutte raisonnée principles, integrating biological pest control, in-house composting, and zero synthetic fertilizers alongside an ISO 14001 certification. White vinification emphasizes pure, mineral-driven expression through temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and judicious aging in French oak crafted at the house's Savigny-lès-Beaune cooperage, while reds emphasize structured, classic extraction. Beyond iconic Côte d'Or pinnacles such as Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Château Corton Grancey, and Romanée-Saint-Vivant 'Les Quatre Journaux', Latour has famously pioneered southern terroir projects in the clay-limestone soils of the Ardèche and the higher altitudes of the Var.
