WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, a distinguished white Burgundy, hails from the Côte de Beaune's southern vineyards. The Latour family, deeply rooted in Burgundy's wine trade since 1768, established Maison Louis Latour in 1797. Their 50-hectare domaine in the Côte d’Or and negociant arm reflect their prominence. Chassagne Montrachet, positioned in the prestigious Côte de Blancs, boasts Premier Cru soils of brown clay and limestone. Morgeot, a top-tier 1er Cru climat, offers exceptional value within the village. Grapes from 30-year-old vines undergo hand-harvesting and traditional vinification in oak barrels, aging 8-12 months, resulting in a rich, exotically fruity wine with a tropical allure and opulent finish.

The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. The fruit flavors are beautifully integrated, displaying a perfect ripeness and a vibrant acidity that brings liveliness to the wine. Notes of citrus, particularly lemon, provide a refreshing zing, while a touch of minerality adds depth and structure.
