About Louis Latour
Founded all the way back in 1797, Maison Louis Latour has remained under Latour ownership now for over two centuries. Run by the seventh Louis Latour, the 11th generation of the family, the prized Burgundian domaine continues to produce elegant wines in their house style. Ambitious perfectionists, though steeped in tradition, Maison Louis Latour is a jewel of an independent winery.

TASTING NOTES:
2010 Mâcon-Lugny - “The 2010 Mâcon-Lugny “Les Genièvres” is characterized by a pale yellow color and an intense nose with notes of Muscat. The mouth is ample and offers delicious aromas of exotic fruit, especially mango. Very beautiful spicy finish with a touch of ginger.” (AbV 13%)

2011 Mâcon-Lugny - “This Mâcon-Lugny “Les Genièvres” 2011 offers an elegant golden yellow colour. This wine begins with distinctive aromas of white fruit, laced with a fine flavor of fresh almond. A light muscat-like note can be smelt. Round and ample on tasting, appealing and intense muscat aromas will charm you.” (AbV 13%)

2011 St. Veran - “Of a pale yellow colour, the Saint-Véran 2011 reveals a floral nose with muscat-like hints of brioche. In the mouth it is round with citrus notes. A delicious wine with a lovely balance.” (AbV 13%)

BARRELS:
8 - 10 months in stainless steel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a 19th century artist known for his paintings, drawings, and illustrations. An early friend of van Gogh, he made his name in the post-impressionist and art nouveau movements with colorful artwork depicting Parisian nightlife, particularly cabarets and brothels. He was fascinated with the lifestyles of prostitutes and often used them as subjects. Two fun facts: his full name is Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa, and he once challenged another artist to a duel because they criticized van Gogh’s works at an exhibition.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
