LOUIS LATOUR CORTON CHARLEMAGNE GRAND CRU 2017 75 cl
Description
- After the devastation caused by phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, the Louis Latour family decided to uproot the dead Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines and replace them with Chardonnay. Today, with 10.5 hectares, Louis Latour is the largest owner of this Grand Cru vineyard. Our Corton-Charlemagne vineyard is located on the best part of the Corton hill, where the southeast exposure ensures ideal sun exposure and a perfect balance between acidity and grape ripeness.
