Louis Latour Bâtard‑Montrachet Grand Cru “Clos Poirier” 2020 – Case of 6
Exquisite Grand Cru Burgundy Chardonnay for Connoisseurs
Crafted by the renowned Maison Louis Latour, the Bâtard‑Montrachet Grand Cru “Clos Poirier” 2020 is a benchmark white Burgundy from Puligny‑Montrachet, offering exceptional richness, elegance, and ageing potential.
About the Wine
Vineyard & Terroir
Nestled in the prestigious Bâtard‑Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard — a narrow strip between Puligny‑Montrachet and Chassagne‑Montrachet — the Clos Poirier parcel is unique. Its vines are planted on a north–south orientation (rare in this vineyard), rooted in deep, gravely limestone soils that impart a distinctive minerality and structure.
Winemaking & Ageing
Hand‑harvested Chardonnay grapes are gently pressed and undergo traditional fermentation in French oak barrels, followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 10–12 months in 100% new French oak (medium-toast, Louis Latour cooperage), which adds fine toasty complexity.

Food Pairing & Serving
