Domaine Louis Latour

The family-run company of Maison Louis Latour is one of the most highly-respected négociant-éléveurs in Burgundy. Renowned throughout the world for the quality of its red and white wines, the company has built a reputation for tradition and innovation. The Latour family themselves have been viticulteurs since the 17th century, slowly building up a unique Domaine of 50 hectares (125 acres). This Domaine has the largest Grand Cru property in the Cote d'Or with a total of 28,63 hectares (71,58 acres).

The Domaine of Louis Latour is situated in the pretty medieval village of Aloxe-Corton. This small village has been the home of the Latour family since their involvement in viticulture began. The Château (built in 1749) at Corton Grancey, the winery and its 17 hectare estate were acquired from the Count of Grancey, the then President of the Burgundy parliament, after the outbreak of phylloxera at the end of the 19th century. This land now forms the heart of the Domaine. The winery (cuverie) which dates back to 1832 was the first purpose-built winery in France and is one of the oldest still functioning today. The winery was cleverly designed to cut into the hillside and therefore relies on a system of gravity to make the wine, thus respecting the grape's fragility. This is where we still vinify and age all our red and white Domaine wines.
