WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis Latour Pommard is a classic Burgundy red wine from the renowned Louis Latour estate, located in the Pommard appellation, just south of Beaune. This wine is produced from 30-year-old vines planted in clay-limestone soils, contributing to its rich complexity. The vineyard spans over 300 hectares in a narrow valley, known for yielding deeper, more concentrated wines compared to neighboring areas. Traditional open-vat fermentation is followed by 10-12 months of aging in French oak barrels, 15% of which are new. This Pommard showcases sumptuous aromas, soft tannins, and a robust structure, needing a few years of cellaring to fully develop. It's a standout for those seeking a refined yet powerful expression of Burgundy terroir.
