Description

The freshness and roundness of a Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru red wine

The estate

Louis Latour is the largest winegrowing estate in Burgundy, with a history of over 200 years of winemaking. Spread over the most beautiful plots of land in Premiers and Grands Crus from the Côte de Beaune to the Côte de Nuits, the estate's 50 hectares of vineyards give rise to a range of wines from 130 appellations, each of which expresses with authenticity and refinement the characteristics of their original terroir.

An esteemed Burgundy estate, Louis Latour has been actively involved in environmentally-conscious viticulture since 1996.

The vineyard

This Premier Cru 2021 is a Chambolle-Musigny wine that stems from the "Les Charmes" plot, a plateau on light limestone soil with little vegetation as it was uncultivated for a long time.

The vintage

The year began with a cool, wet winter, followed by a particularly warm spring at the end of March and beginning of April, which advanced an early budding of the vines. From 5 to 8 April, a cold snap with temperatures as low as -8°C made a severe impact on the vineyard. Although the weather conditions from June to the beginning of August put more pressure on the vineyard’s state, the flowering was even. The end of August, which was milder and drier, ensured ideal ripening of the grapes saved from the frost.

Winemaking and ageing

Traditional fermentation in open vats. Ageing for 10-12 months in oak casks from the estate’s cooperage (40% new).

Blend

Pinot noir (100%)
