✨ Technical Specifications
While Maison Louis Latour is synonymous with Burgundy, their pioneering spirit led them to the Ardèche region, bordering the Rhône, in the late 20th century. Recognizing the potential of the local clay-limestone soils and Mediterranean climate, they established vineyards to craft expressive, accessible varietal wines. This Viognier is a testament to that vision. Grown on sun-drenched hillsides, the grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's naturally intense, exotic aromatics. The resulting wine is beautifully aromatic, showcasing classic notes of white peach, apricot, and honeysuckle, balanced by a fresh, rounded finish that avoids the heavy oiliness sometimes associated with the grape.
🍾 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.
