WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis Latour Santenay Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Louis Latour. The wine comes from the Santenay appellation, which is known for its high-quality Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards are located on the slopes of the Côte de Beaune, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay, providing the perfect conditions for growing exceptional grapes. Being the most southern commune of Côte de Beaune, there is enough warmth and sun for grapes to ripen well. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with a rich and complex flavor profile and a smooth texture, but still with elegant and refined style and pleasant freshness.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Louis Latour Santenay Blanc offers an inviting nose with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of toasted almond.On the palate, it is well-balanced and elegant, featuring flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and subtle mineral undertones. The wine's texture is smooth and creamy, complemented by a refreshing acidity that leads to a crisp, clean finish. Its complexity and finesse make it a delightful example of a Burgundy white, perfect for savoring on its own.
