The Vineyards
Old-Vine Chardonnay in Corton-Charlemagne
-
Average vine age: 30 years
-
Grape variety: Chardonnay
-
Harvest: Hand-picked to preserve fruit integrity
Following the devastation of phylloxera in the late 19th century, the decision to replant Chardonnay on these slopes proved visionary, laying the foundation for what would become one of Burgundy’s most revered white wines.
Today, the Latour family owns 10.5 hectares, making them the largest landowner in the Corton-Charlemagne appellation. The grapes are harvested as late as possible to ensure optimal ripeness and aromatic concentration.
Vinification & Ageing
Traditional White Burgundy Winemaking
-
Fermentation: Oak barrel fermentation with full malolactic conversion
-
Ageing: 8 to 10 months in 100% new French oak barrels
-
Barrels: Louis Latour cooperage, medium toast
This meticulous approach enhances texture, complexity, and structure, while preserving the natural minerality of the Grand Cru site.
