The Authentic Expression of a Great Chablis Terroir

The Estate
Founded in 1797, Maison Louis Latour is a true institution in Burgundy. Still independent and family-owned after more than two centuries of history, it is now run by Florent Latour. The estate covers 48 hectares of vines, making up the largest holding of grands crus in the Côte d'Or. Renowned for its innovative spirit, as illustrated by its historic gravity-fed winery, and its deep commitment to sustainable viticulture, this estate skilfully combines respect for centuries-old traditions with a modern vision to bring out the best in every terroir.

The Vineyard
This wine comes from the celebrated Fourchaume climat, ideally located on the right bank of the Serein, directly adjacent to the grands crus of Chablis. The vines thrive on clay-limestone soils typical of the Kimmeridgian, rich in marl and marine fossils. Benefiting from an excellent west and south-west exposure, this terroir captures generous sunshine while retaining a lovely freshness. The vineyard is managed according to a philosophy of sustainable viticulture, favouring mechanical soil work, the use of natural compost and the preservation of biodiversity.

Grape Variety
This Chablis 1er cru is 100% Chardonnay.
