About this Item

1999 Corton
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Maison Louis Latour was created in 1797 and has remained in the family since, with the 7th Louis Latour (11th generation) overseeing the maison today. Louis Latour owns the largest holdings of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy some of which are the best vineyards in the region. It was at the beginning of the 20th century that Louis Latour started expanding their reputation internationally. In 1998 Louis Latour became part of the Farre farms circuit thereby committing to sustainable viticulture.

The grapes selected to produce this wine are located on the hill of Corton in south-easterly facing parcels. The vines are managed in the traditional way by the Louis Latour team which carries out strict pruning in order to produce later harvests thus insuring a good degree of maturity in the grapes. This wine is made up of grapes selected from several different parcels of vines in order to guarantee consistent quality each year. It has a good ageing potential.
