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.

A French Duet

TASTING NOTES:
“The ‘Duet’ is unique because the two different grapes are harvested at the same time and fermented together. The vines are quite far apart from one another and the last week of harvesting Chardonnay coincides with the first week of harvesting Viognier, therefore preserving the acidity of the Viognier. This results in a balanced wine, where neither variety overpowers the other. It is a fine, supple and elegant wine. The ‘Duet’ is a tantalising combination of the smoothness of Viognier and the purity of Chardonnay which creates a delicate, supple and classically elegant wine.”

BARRELS:
8 to 10 months in stainless steel.
